Also looking at 17x9 +35 instead. 255 good for that though?

I editted to add more info. Please re-read.

255 on 17x9 is perfect imo.

Keep weight in mind as to not potentially ruin the feel of the car. It's always a tradeoff between weight and grip. I tend to lean more towards the extra grip & take the weight penalty.

If weight is truly important get a stickier tire in 215 and mount it on a 7" wide wheel.

Check the specs on the tire/wheel you want to run. Report back with weight.
