Yes, any 250 or 260 will fit with no modifications...and the actual width of both, when mounted on the stock rim, is almost identical.

I like Metzeler....but next tire change I'm going to try a Avon Cobra Chrome. Check it out, I've been hearing really good things!

I don't. I swapped to the E3's as soon as my stock tire was done. Never swapped out after that. Though I do have a shot of the E3 on mine. Note the fender has been chopped and had a light welded underneath. But you get the gist of how it looks.
