I don't know for sure, but I do know that both Steeda and Saleen use 255 width tires.
 












The Steeda has 17x9 Cobra R's, but I don't know if they push it to the limit. You might be able to use wider rims.
 






I own a 99 Eddie Bauer 4x4 with 265/60/R18
Yokohama AVS ST Tires and 18 x 8.5 Azev G
Wheels.

Tires and Wheels fit perfect and look great.

Hope this help.
My brother put 17 x 8.5 Azev H Wheels and
265/60/R17 Yokohama Tires.
 






Hey rgomez, was wondering if your brothers front tires scrape his sway bars? I have a 99 4door with 275x60x17 and they scrape when I turn to the extreme left or right. On the rear they have scraped my brake cables, I had to bend them farther in. I'm considering 265x60x17 like your brothers. Has he had any of these problems with his? Thanks.

My brother does not have any problem.
Me neither.

265/60/R17 y just fine...I recomend you
the Yokohama AVS ST...It's a great tire
On-Road and Off-Road.

Hope this help
