U don't need 255's on 8" wheels and u will need to roll and pull your fenders.

i am running a 245/45/17 on my 17x8 wheels but only because i traded for them and the previous owner put them on. I am about to purchase 235/40/17 dunlop z1s as the replacement. The only reason i would go up to a 255+ is to run r comp tires for auto x. But if the tire you are looking for runs small a 245 may be ok.
