Maybe other people have pulled that tire size off, but I've not seen it posted anywhere.
Last I checked my clearance I can bottom out my Bilstein rear dampers with 17x9 245 tires and nothing else hits or rubs, I wouldn't worry about putting 255s on my car personally.

Maybe I missed something and he wants to go super low and maintain travel, then the suspension or tire might hit/rub.
