You don't want to go too wide on the 15x8 rims because then you'll have to
run lower pressures to get a flat contact patch. I get a little uneven wear
on the fronts b/c i went wider...well, maybe that's from taking corners too
fast... The 255's will definately be more responsive than a 235 though.
Let us know how it works out.
