mostly allows to run the widest tire on all 4 corners without having stearing problems. Other than that just for the looks. The more the rubber in the back the better it looks and performes. I think. I run a staggered set so i can get a wider tire in the back for traction.

I want to buy the new NT-05 in 255/40-17, and Nitto recommends mounting on no lower than an 8.5 wide rim. I have an 8. Will this really be a problem, or did they just have to draw the line somewhere?
I currently have 245/40-17s on there right now and I don't see how another few MM would push things over the brink.

a 255 on an 8'' wheel is kind of on the small side (for the wheel). I would recommend a 235/40 if Nitto makes that.
with a 255, your tire will be... like a "muffintop"
