Anyway, I have 245/60's on a set of 15x6 Probe wheels. I would think you would be fine with 255's and maybe be able to get something a little wider.
From what I gather from more knowledgeable members, wider is not necessarily better when it comes to slicks, et streets and drag radials. You want to keep the weight down and get a good contact patch relative to the power your putting down.
In my case, the tires are a little skinnier then I would like, but will be fine for N/A. We'll see how they do with a 100 shot.

Should i go with 245 555Rs or 275 555Rs? The reason im asking is cause im pretty much stock and i think 275 would be over kill and just be extra weight right?

wider is better with tires if you are having traction issues. dont ever read the recommended specs for tires, they are very very safe. i just put 315s on my 9.5s for my daily driving tires and they hook 5Xs better than my 265s did...
i mean there is a point where its overkill but thats why you just get more power...
