Rears you don't have to touch; the fronts you'll need a slight roll. This is how she sits now...255-50-16 radial out back with a 5mm spacer, 225-50-16 tire up front. The 20/25mm spacers came with extended studs.
Very nice stance - thanks for sharing all the details!
255 on an 8” wide wheel is sketchy and probably counter-productive for performance.
Definitely not good for those that want to turn. 255's aren't terrible if you just plan on straight line fun, we would run MT ET Streets in 26x11.5 which are close to a 255 size tire but we would mainly drag or roll race. That is the only way I would suggest this. We used to do some roll racing on the highway with them as well and anything with that much sidewall flex did not feel safe, even long turns at speed on the highway, you get this sketchy wobble feel where the contact patch is sticking but the back end of your car sways with the sidewall flex. If you plan on having any fun turning, get the proper sized tire.

Yea, all that's being done on this setup is roll/highway racing
