Default 255/40/18 Any rub problems?

I am considering this size in the Falken 452.
I have two 245/40/18s on now and the 2 stock Yoko Ono Advan A10s have had it.
The 245 falkens are only 8.3" wide and the rim is not protected as I would like with this size.
The Yoko Advans are 8.5" wide and cover the rim better.
The 255 Falkens are calling to me and they are only .4" taller in diam.

All suspension is stock as are the wheels.
Will this clear in full turns and suspension travel?

Thanks in advance

I can not say I've tried them, but I've seen a car with them. I can't believe they would come close to rubbing. If I have to replace my tires I plan to go to that size.
