Nope. The front tire should be 245/35 and the rear should be 275/30. I personally have 285/30 on my 166m wheels and I think it looks a lot better, but the 275/30 is the factory recommendation. Good luck. 166m wheels are awesome.

Straight fit..some say that the 275 on the rear looks a little stretched across the 9.5J rim, I think it looks fine. I love my 166's.

I'm considering some 10mm H&R spacers on the rear just to bring the wheel out a tad into the arch, a matter of taste I guess.
