do you have the right backspace on your wheel? you shouldnt have problems with 255's. how much is your car lowered? you could take it to a body shop and have the fender lip rolled under to help.

i agree with above u should not be having a problem with either of those sizes.

either your car is lowered pretty far or again u might have the wrong backspace.

a few pics would be easier for us to help u out.

SOUNDS LIKE THE BACK SPACING on the rims you got is all wrong
