a 255/50/17 is the same diameter as the stock 235/55/17 and would be about as wide as you can go on a 17x8 rim.

Check the specs on various tires on sites such as tirerack.com. Unfortunately, I think you may find that some tire manufacturers won't even recommend 255's on an 8" wheel. If you're going to put new rubber on, do it right and get some wider wheels. Otherwise you'll be kicking yourself for the NEXT 2 1/2 years.
