For the car, a 255 is a rear only width, and wold fit on an 8.5" wide wheel.

Bear in mind a 255 is about 3/8" wider than the 245 you have so it is not a great improvement in tire section width. I would suggest to remain with the 245s all the way around.

If you would like tire suggestions, simply call me so we can discuss further!

Thanks!
