Why not just keep them 225 front and 255 rear?

Congratulations. If I were you I would stick with factory specs on tires. Good luck.

can you run the 255 tire in the front as well? Found a great deal on four of those

Congrats on the new car, shes a beauty. And welcome to CL!

Don't run a 255 in the front - keep it 225 in the front and 255 in the rear if you are running stock wheels.

Edit: NVM don't buy all 4 tires and keep 2 as spares if they are just winter tires lol

Congrats and welcome to the Fsport family. Looks like the previous owner invested in a gloss back roof. Looks good
