I run 245/45/17 on the front of my 90lx and if I crank the wheel they do rub. I have to ease into those 3 point turns. I would say 255 is getting a bit too big.

i think they will fit...i had some bald 275 40's on the front with minimal rubbing...and its lowered

i think i am buying that same size from somebody who has extra tires, so i hope it works, but i dont have much doubt

I had 255/45/17 on the front and they rubbed so much that they wore through some of the inner fenderwell plastic. I have 235/45/17s on there now and they dont rub at all and dont look much smaller than the 255s.

17x9. Probably didn't help that the wheels were so wide.
