I hear the major problem with wide tires is they can hit the spring perch... if you get cheap coil-overs, such as the ones sound sells, you can probably fit 255 tires without much issue... although they'd probably rub a bit inside the fender if you were turning sharply and the suspension was "compressed" a lot at the same time

Also, to whoever asked why get wider tires? For better cornering grip? Ever wonder why a corvette has 265 series tires, and not 215 or 225 on the front? Better cornering grip... but if you do get wide 255 tires, be sure to have a spare set of rims with 215 or 225 snow/all weather tires for the winter, because your 255s would most likely be a summer tired... and driving with those wide puppies in snow would be quite... entertaining..
