Nope, Steve Cirian (sp?) from Lightning in a world of thunder runs 285's on all 4 corners and there's no rubbing.
im just speaking from experience man..... plus he only has 8.5 inch wheels and you're suggesting 255. given that they work for bobby's car back when it was still using stock high as hell springs he's gunna need insanely stiff suspension setup to keep it away from his fenders. which steve cirianni had his drag car/autox

No worries man, but the FD comes stock with 245's on an 8 inch wide front rim I believe, 255's on an 8.5 one wouldn't be a problem.
and r1 packages came with 235 rear on 8 inch rims.
not sure what the sizing is in japan when the 8.5inch rims came out

Hmm, I thought it was 245 on all 4's. 225's are skinny as hell. My bad!!!

but whats his ride height? you can get 285's in the front if you raise the car like 2-3" but if its at stock height it almost rubs everywhere
