How tough will it be to fit 255s? I was planning on taking the wheels I have on my 951 to put on the 931 rears are 17x9 et55

Im sure Ill have to roll the rear lips, can the inside of the wheel well be pushed in if there is rubbing?

I used the exact same wheel+tire combo on my 924 with 17x9 cup1 wheels. It required to roll the lips, otherwise it did fit. But it also depends on the tire manufacturer. For example 255 R888's are much wider in reality than some other makes 255.

And it did fit perfectly without any rubbing issues even at the racetrack.

It is sure worth trying.
