there's not a lot of difference between those sizes except that the 8.25s will be more available with more choices, and likely a bit cheaper as a result - there will be a fractional improvement in mpg and speed per rpm - watch that the fronts don't rub enough on hard turns that problems develop long term .... the 8.25s worked fine on my 46 but did rub at full lock
