Tires ?

Hey guys... its been a while,

quick question for you guys. I need to know if a set of 255/55- 16 would fit on stock salad shooter rims. My uncle has a set hes looking to get rid of, and my tires are balder than shaq. Would these be to wide, or would they be useable if maybe they were used at a lower pressure or something. Im clueless. Please Help!

A stock 245/50/16 is 25.6" tall, but the 255/55/16 is 27" tall. They will fit on a 16x8 wheel, but your speedometer will be 5.4% too slow unless you change the tire size in your tune using something like HP Tuners.
