Does anyone know if a 255/50r20 will fit on 2009 Adrenalin? They are about 1 inch larger in diameter than the OE. It looks like it could be tight in front on the bumper side when turned to lock. If anyone has used any different sizes on an Adrenalin please let me know I can get the diameter from spec sheet at tire rack....THANKS

255/50r20 is the factory size for the Adrenalin. Last time I replaced the tires on my Adrenalin, I upsized to 265/50r20 with no problems.
 






I went to a 275/45/20 with no issues.
 






Sorry was looking to put on 255/55r20.Its about 1 inch larger in diameter. OE size is 30" dia..255/55r20 is 31" 265/50r20 is 30.6"
Any other sizes?
Thanks
 






I am also looking to size up to 255/55/20 for a larger sidewall - smoother ride. Has anyone done this and have photos?
 












This thread is pretty straight forward... But since I wasn't able to get a proper response, I just went out and did it myself.
Here are 3 photos of my brand new Michelin Premier LTX 255/55/20 - one sidewall size up from the factory size.
The ride is significantly smoother right off the bat.

Nice, my STA needs new rubber pretty bad. How much did the set cost? Im hoping to not pay more than $1k...

I found them installed and balanced for just under $1,200 + Tax
 






I went to my local Ford dealership and bought a set of perelli scorpions. stock size for under $900 otd. And they ride better than the G.Y's my truck had.

Absolutely. No surprise there.
 






Speaking of tires and wheels... I was thinking of upgrading from the STA's standard 20x9 rims to some nice aftermarket 22x9.5. Anyone have any experience with this?
