it would "ride" fine... but you should prob get 275s for the front. What size are your wheels.

What's the point of getting the 255's??? . . . . plus they are going to have a lower overall diameter, and screw up the ABS.

How would they screw up the ABS? ive run bigger tires in the back and smaller ones in the front on other cars before and never seemed to have any problems from that....

Xsta I'm running 275-35-18s up front and 295-35-18s in rear. Its the same difference in diameter and I've had no problems. However, I do agree that I dont see the point of even running that size tire.
What size rims do you have?
