Im sure you could fit a 255, it would probably strech the sidewalls out and look like crap though.

255/45/17 is smallest I'd go on a 17x9. It would cut down on the tramlining, and improve the ride. The sidewall would be pretty close between the two.

255,265,275 fit a 17x9 wheel 245 is too small and not safe.
