It's really going to depend on the wheel width and offset.

example here's a 275/40/17 (wheel 17x9 +34) on the front of my car
255/50/16 is .3" taller than the 275/40/17

I can tell you that a 245/50/16 fits. I've test fitted 245s on NA wheels with out any problems, 255s are not that much larger I think they should fit as well.

I'm on S-techs 2.2" drop

ok Well I took the risk and bought them. (255/50/16 et streets )they would not work on my z32 rims. They rubbed on the strut. They worked just by about 3/4 of an inch on my 99 se wheels. But I hate those rims they are so dam heavy
