Tire size

[T. Bass]

I have a GV70 Top trim package automobile. 21" rims...currently 255's on the 21" rims.
Can I go up to 265's on the rear wheels?
3.5 twin turbo.

According to what I can find, that is the maximum width for a 9" wide rim, so it should be okay but that's the upper limit.

I was thinking about doing the same thing. There are some other tires available with much better treadwear at 265/35/21

I'll be ordering my wife a set of 265/45r21 tires soon to help incase she's ever to hit a curve 41k miles on the original Michelins and not a mark on them yet. I also hate the fender gap, plan to lower it with wheel spacers and thicker tire I think it will be perfect.
