Yes.

would you need any spacers?
No.

can you still turn all the way like with 215's?
No, you can only turn in giant, swooping arcs.

Of course you can still turn all the way!!! [img]graemlins/twak.gif[/img]

Won't 255/50's knock your speedo off a little? I'm not up on the tire speedo calibration numbers..

How slopy are they? do they have more body roll because they are bigger?

I'm going to need new tires next year.

I ran them for a long time and loved them
255 50 16's in all 4 corners

Holy cow people, it's no big deal at all. Stock SS's came with 275/14/17's and they obviously dont rub. You can put 315's on the back without problems too. Everybody needs to stop worrying!

They don't. 215/60/16, 235/55/16 and 255/50/16 are all almost exactly the same outside diameter.
