I can tell you all right now that Slick is running those tires with no problems with how he drives.
I've driven it multiple times. It doesn't have enough of a squat problem to prove interfering, unless, like he said, it was loaded down; he's thrown a jack and other miscellaneous crap in there and driven 200+ miles to help my dumb ass fix my car. It's lowered as well. As far as I know, he never has enough of anything in that car to make his tires a problem. He's a prude, he'd fix it if it was a safety issue.
So yes it is entirely possible to run a 255 on a 17" rim on a lowered GP. Just don't do it on stock struts .. Don't do anything on stock struts, they suck so much.
