I wouldn't put them on anything less than an 8" rim. Probably best suited to a 9 or 10" rim though if u wanna actually take advantage of that kinda tread face.. You'll balloon the **** out of it fitting it to a 7" rim and I dare say that is kinda dangerous lol

I had heard that you can fit a 255 on a 15x7 and fit it under the rear's, but i personally havent tested it

Do fit a 255 you usually have to change the offset on the ceptor or it will hit the outter gaurd. unless u want to shorten your diff Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I have put 255's on my Calais on 16" rim (not stocko rims though) and they fit ok with rolled guards. I have heard with only guard rolling and the right offset rims you can fit 265's in there with no tubbing/minitubbing.

As xAsh- said, I remember reading 255/60R15 ET Streets on 7" chasers fitting in a standard VL rear end?

Ive had 255/50/16 ET streets on obviously a 16"x7 cop rim under the guards with no issues. Standard height springs and also had to wind the seat belt bolt out.
