Tire width variations between brands
Does anyone know if tire widths vary between brands? My front wheels are 19 X 9.0 with a 255/35 tire(Bridgestone Potenza RE960). The lip pokes out like its stretched. I had the understanding that a 245-265 tire was the ideal range for this rim size. 
I could provide pics if needed. Any feedback on this would be great. Thanks

Yes tire widths vary between brands and between models and some times by A LOT.
Here is something I posted on this topic awhile back in regards to this very topic...

As it has been already stated, each and every tire is different. However, generally speaking PS2s are considered to run wider than most tires in the same size. For instance in these pictures the tire on the right is the Pirelli P zero in a 305/30-19 on the left is a Michelin PS2 size 295/30-19 both on 19X11.5 inch rims from CCW. As you can see the PS2s are much wider.
