The 225 contact patch really isnt cutting it for me. I was wondering if i could go 255, or maybe even higher ? I have a good set of LCA's so removing quadshocks wouldnt be an issue. Just wondering if anyone had experience/or pictures with this situation.

the 225 is the perfect fit for the rim which is the best contact patch and aslo provide better handling then the 245/50's. the 245 will not have much more off a contact patch then the 225's

I like 245/50's on pony wheels. Don't think I would go any bigger.
