I gotta wonder kinda off-topic here if 255/35/19 tires will fit on my 8.5" 166's in the front? Right now I have 245/35/19 but the sidewall is sorta angled inward and doesn't have a straight up-and-down look compared to the rim. Will I rub? Because it looks like I have a little clearance from the fender to the sidewall still. How much wider is 255 vs 245?

first number is the tread width in mm
second number is the height, but it is a percentage of the first number
thats the one thing i dont like about stretching tires on a rim, you have basically no protection from the tires when you encounter curbs and such.
