I've realized comparing tire width across companies is pointless, there is a lot of variance.
Have to do anything special to run the 255s up front. I'm running Coilovers, but not a very aggressive lower. I have -2.2 camber up front and run a 3mm spacer with Apex ARC 8s. Do you have any rubbing at all on the street or track. It's not my daily but I still have to get it to and from the track. I run 235/255 right now. 255/265 for next year would be outstanding if It would fit. I'll probably be running the Hancook R-S4s next year.
