Will 255/50/19s fit?

Interesting, my guy.told me you can't stagger the MME

You can stagger anything, you need to have the same diameter in the front and back. A staggered setup will cause more understeer most don't want that.

I decided not to do a staggered setup. 255/45/20 was plenty of tire and made sure I had a very good set. There is a big difference from tire to tire.

As Brian said above, you can stagger anything. While it is ideal to have the same exact diameter front and rear with AWD, as long as you are within a 2% difference, you will be ok. Manufactures that offer staggered wheel setups from the factory on their AWD cars (BMW, Porsche, Mercedes, etc) have setups that are no more than a 2% difference front and rear.

Earlier this year, I posted a long winded thread of my MME staggered setups:

Made the choice; Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 4s in 245/50/19. I was thinking about going to 20s with 255, but decided on keeping stock wheels. These are a very noticeable improvement in overall road feel and I suspect will be an extremely suitable year round choice for my wife's daily driver from the farm east of Austin to Austin. Thanks for the guidance y'all.

Those are a good choice, one of the best all season tires on the market.

I don't mess around with tires, though my last four vehicles have been trucks with ATs. This zippy car thing is new to me (and I like it).

Well those or a DWS 06+, Hypertrac, Pirelli P-zero as or p7 would all be good choices and only subjective differences

I was looking at Pirelli but went Michelin because of availability.

Can you post a picture mounted on the car? I'm considering the same change. The performance of my stock summer tires 225/19 is laughable.

Nice! They seem to fit well the stock premium 19" wheels. I will get that.
