Default ASAP tire width?-255 on stock wheel

I have a 2000 WS6 running stock wheels and tires at stock specs which are 275 40R17. I can get a set of brand new BF Goodrich G-Force T/A KDW NT for 90 a tire but they are 255 40R17. This is a great deal but I dont want to risk any issues with the car. I know little about tire sizes but I know people play with the width quite a bit. Will I even notice a difference in FEEL or LOOK with that small of a change. thanks for any help.
