it will have a slight stretch, I would do 255 on a 9.5 and a 265 or 275 on a 10.5

SHADE, these will NOT work on your car. do not mount them, they will be a waste of money.

i don't know why you'd want to go to a 55 series with a luxury coupe....i wouldn't go past 45. It would just look weird...and you may have issues

A lot going on threw this thread lol I'm running 255/40/18 on 10.5 rims .. the 255/55/18 wheels I got free and now won't be using. But soon need to buy 275/40/18 for my rims as the 255/40 aren't wide enough
