never seen bigger than a 255...if your running an OE differrential / suspension, it might be a super tight squeeze, but id toss the quad shocks IMO

my 91 has 275's and it required some wheel well banging... didn't have quad shocks on it already but they would have to be deleted to fit the tire

I have seen some tool that bolts on with lug nuts, instead of the tire and it is supposed to roll the fenders out.
