Good luck on finding any OEM BFGs, backordered until at least June.

There's your problem, the best replacement is 255/55/R18. That's most likely why it doesn't look right.

Does it matter if its an innie or an outie?? What feels better? WE can debate the pros and cons of Innies and Outies for ever...

Innies pros: Small coin storage
cons: fills easily with lint.

outies pros: you can hang key rings off it.
cons: snags easily on knit sweaters

Onto the tire question... buy Nitto's 255/55/R18. The are larger than the OEMs but they look good. They have a good tread pattern and grip well.

LOL! Ugh, that's gross. And you might be looking a little too far down.

Kumho 255/55/18's are great, also!!

Never worried about it before because my car has pretty low miles but I did notice today the center of the rear tires will be gone after maybe a few more thousand miles.

if you are running Nitto's 255/55/R18 on the rear, waht have you got on the front?
I'll be looking in the spring.
