Yeah they'll fit. Ran them on my front for two years ('92 coupe). As for 255's in the rear.. No it won't look stupid; barely any difference anyhow. Later bro.

I'd run the same size all the way around in your case. With such a small differance in size it gives you the option of rotating them

Tires are just tires. Save yourself some money; as long as they're still good, keep the ones you already have on the front and when you wear the 245's out slap the 255's on. Ya sure 150 is a good deal. But it really doesn't make a difference. Just make sure you got your best tires on the front. Grip is the most important thing to consider.

No sense in running the 245 front and 255 rear. Keep it 245 all around as mentioned above, so you can rotate them.
