Really a 9 inch wheel would be the most ideal for 255s. I run 285s on my 9.5 inch wheel, i'd never put 255s on it, too much stretch for me.
255s or 265s are actually ideal on a 9.5 wheel.

Yes, they are "stretched", but it stiffens up the sidewall to increase response in the tire.

Think of performance stretched...not really stanced stretched.
