not to hi-jack but i was also wanting this same comparison. Does anyone have 255s on a limited. I was just curious if they would look too narrow with the limited flares.

a bunch of pics of my 02 sport are at www.soaztim.com
The 02 flares seem larger than earlier ones. They may be as large as limited or close.
My .02 is that they look good. From the rear or front straight on they look skinny, but I think that some land cruiser wheels would work well to get them just a bit further out in the fender well.

imo...255's would look abit thin on a ltd/sport flared runner. lookup huskyrunner on this site..he's got 255/85's on stockers i think, and they look great. however...he's running SR5 trim sans flares.
id actually rather run 255's over 285's on a LTD...but on wheels that have less backspacing...that should also solve any rubbing issues.
