I like the Nittos. Even with the tiny bit of width you'll be losing I think your car will hook a helluva lot better. Besides, 255s on a stock pony wheel will be a bit overkill. Those things are 7.5" or 7" wide, right? A 240 tire will give you better handling than a 255 on that size wheel since the sidewall won't flex in hard turns. But that's me. You could also find some 240s for the front and 255s for the rear if you want...just stick with one brand while you do it. Rotating tires won't work but it'll look cooler and hook better.
