255 will rub on the stock spring/perch so I would stay away from that until you get coilovers. To get around that what you could do is get camber adjustable top hats and make them as negative as possible and then use camber bots set to fully positive so that you get some clearance. Im not 100% sure it will give you the clearance you need but on my 18x9 +35 thats what I did to make 255 work. The 245/40 option is what I run for the DD, it increases the diameter of your tire a bit more than you'd ideally want but you barely notice it especially if you have light wheels. IMO i will be sticking with the 245 40 because it offers more protection to the rim and it seems to sit flush with my wheels. I also like them because I can pick up tires for less money since they are the oem size/popular choice for guys with WRX STIs
