i decided since its winter to just buy new tires because mine are getting bald. I have 3.73 gears in my car (came installed with car) wish i didn't have them, but cant justify the difference by paying $300 to remove them. I have is i have the stock 17x8 rim bullet wheels just chromed, and i wanted to fill up the gap between the tires a little bit more, i was thinking of buying 255/50/17 tires to help with this.
How are these tires are they good?

I used this tire calculator and it comes up as only 5.3% difference and was told not to go over 5%. A advantage to this is it would make my car 5.3% slower which will lower my rpms by 3mph on freeway. Not such a big deal, Just thinking it can help with gas by 1mpg and help with the look to fill up the wheel well, I have stock springs and would lower but my roush kit is really low already and i cant lower it because my school has huge speed bumps just to park, and i barely hover above them. What do you guys think should i be fine? or should i stick with stock tire size?
