Can anyone let me know what size of a tire I can upgrade to? I know stock is 255/50/17. Will a 275/50/17 work? Or is that too wide?
Thanks all for your help!

people have gone 285/40/17's on all four with no problems, but I would go 285/40/17 in the back with 255/45/17's upfront.

275/40-17 is another popular size, and more widely available than oem size. It is about an inch shorter though, so unless you're lowered, it's not going to look right.

Hmmmmmm,

285's up front pose no problem. The stock wheels hit the swaybar at full wheel lock- with or without 285's. The tires won't rub.

275/45 would be perfect match, but no one makes them that size.

I'm a ex-tire guy, Yeah we got an impala up here running 305-40-17"s on the rear with 285-45-17's on the front. stock rims have been modified on the rear- widened 2 inches. Car had stock suspension

You will be fine. I have 275/50/ZR17 on the back and 255/50/ZR17 on the front rides great on stock suspension.
