Default 255/35-20 on '93 LS400?

Hey all, I just recently purchased some rims for my '93 LS400. They are 20x8.5 with a +35 Offset. Will 255/35-20s fit ok on this vehicle with those wheels? Most places seem to recommend 245/35-20, but DiscountTireDirect shows that 255/35-20s will fit also. Is that true? I may go get some tires this weekend from a local tire shop, so I was just wondering. Thanks in advance, everyone!

for 1LS if you plan on lowering it properly you'll want 225/35-20 or at absolute most maybe 245/35-20 since the bigger the OD the more you will rub against the inner liner.

255's would look pretty chunky, probably bulging out, on an 8.5" wide wheel. I'd go with the 245/35/20 personally. That's the size I've got on my front wheels (20x8.5) and the sidewalls are square with the wheel.

I can't comment on the LS specific fitment, but IMO a 245 is a better match for an 8.5" wide wheel.
