I'm sorry for the stupid question! what I mean is are there any adjustments? for example will the shocks work with the CT? the speedo, gearing and things like that! thanks. I'm thinking about a 225/55zr16, the size measurements are close but not identical! I'm just wondering if all the above will "gel" together. thanks.

Riken Raptor 225/55 ZR 16 works fine. No adjustment needed.
I run mine at 32 PSI, some like a little less. 28-35 seems to be the general range.

Welcome
If it is close on diameter, you probably won't notice any major difference in gearing or rpm.
My VTX speedometer was off so much from the factory it was more like a suggestion than a gauge. lafer
I like a softer ride so I run my shocks on the soft side, 440's with 2 turns off full soft, and 34psi.
Some run their shocks with a lot more preload and higher tire pressure.
It is kinda, Do what you like rather than, what do you need to do, to run a car tire.
