Tire size

If I recall my stock 97 Xk8 has 245 tires on it. Will 255 fit and will it look ok??? Too wide?

I've been using 255/45 Kuhmos with no problems. Almost down to the wear bars, since I've put 28k on these......

I thought the oem on XK8's was 245 fronts and 255 rears. This is what came on my '01 and the rims were 8" F and 9" R.

I think, pretty sure the tires are the same size all the way around.

You have the 17" wheels which are the same front to back, different from the 18" which are 'staggered'.
