I looked up in the FAQ and couldnt find a exact answer. The largest size it lists is a 255/50/r16 is this true or can I possibly fit a 265 or 275.

I have stock 16 x 8 TA rims and would like to run the widest tire possible without issues. There are pics on my cardomain in my sig.

Thanks in advance

Have you tried finding street tires in the 265 and 275 size?
I know it's a pain in the ass to mount a 265/45/16 to a stock 16x8 wheel, my brother and I had a tough time mounting my kumho race tires.

This is what the 265 looks like. (I need to get some better shots of the wheels sometime).
