It kinda makes me think that 255's or wider, and 18 inch wheels are unnecessary for a stock car. any input is much appreciated.

Well they definitely aren't necessary but they can improve handling. Their plus size setup recorded higher speeds in the slalom. That said, I'm putting 215/40-17's on mine so I don't belong in here! Haha
