15mm's will look good with 255's. Anything bigger...imho...will stick out too far...and will look weird. I got some pics of what 245's look like with 15mm spacers. Just imagine that...but about 5mm wider on the outside edge...

15mm will not work in the back for 255. I had 255 Star Specs with 12mm at stock ride height with 135s and it rubbed a lot. They are closer to 265 width, but I would run 10mm, max 12mm if you want to push it on a normal 255. What is the brand/model of your tires? If you're okay with rolling your fenders, that's another story.
I think there may be some interest in this info about weight saving for wheels, so I'll post it here.
I've started a sprung vs. unsprung weight conversation -- just so we don't take this thread into two different directions.
Unsprung vs. sprung weight discussion.
Haha. No worries.

Thanks Dane. I did the math by hand and came up with the same thing as the calculations so I should be good. Now I just need to measure the interior to make sure I am not going to rub on the mounts or something.

No.....to make sure your not going to rub on your coilovers/struts/shocks. You can see where your stock tire prolly has at least an inch of clearance in there.........
If the offset moves your tire out.....typically.....you would be fine on the inside....unless you go with a drastically wider rim....
If the offset moves it in....thats where you might need a spacer to kick it out a bit.

Yeah, these are wider rims and have a slightly smaller offset so according to calculations it will come in about 6mm and out about 20mm. It should be perfect, I will most likely have to roll the fenders when I get come coilovers.
