255/50/17 is 10.03 width. That is narrow in my books. You would not have fitment issues with that width.

Your stock is, what? 245 right? You could go to a 275 or 285/50-55/17

What do you have? A street only machine or somthing that goes offroad? Thats going to make a difference in your tire selection.

It being 2wd, you cant do much offroad but it doesnt mean you cant leave the pavement.
