Default Anybody running 255/45/17 All Around?

I have a base with the stock 17's. I was wondering if anyone has put 255 on the front which are originally 225?

What is recommended on the forums is 245 in the front and 255 in the rear in order to keep the stock stagger. However, I wanted to see if 255 All-Around would be better.

btw: does the speedo read off the rear tires only?

255 mm tires all around will work. Just get the proper size wheels.

I know the 255 is a bit past the recommended size for the front rim, but is it something that would be dangerous?

The OEM front wheel is 7.5 inches wide. I would not put a 255 mm tire on a 7.5 inch wheel. But that’s just me.
