Cool, thank you sir. I already put the wheels/tires on, the tires were in OK condition. It looks like I will be getting the 255/45s in the next couple days thanks.

Check the tire specs on tirerack.com since tire manufacturers will list what rim width they recommend on each of their tires by tire size. Also, tirerack has tutorials on tire and wheel jargon.

And this link will help you regarding overall tire size changes and their impact:

LOL at this thread being in the Appearance Section instead of Handling.
