No but I doubt it would work, I think 245's would be the most you could get. I am mounting my 255's on 9" rims :D

what about 255 on 35's?

I still have the stock 245/40's in the rear, but wanna get 255's??

I have seen them mounted on 7.5" wheels, but the sidewalls were really bulging, and they looked terrible. Can't be good for handling. 255's should have a 9-9.5" wheel to keep the sidewall stiff. If you use 8.5" wheels, then 245's would be good. For the 8" wheel, 235's would be best, but you can squeeze the 245's on if you must. I run my 255's in 9" wheels.

tirerack (http://www.tirerack.com/tires/Spec.jsp?make=Bridgestone&model=Potenza+S-03+Pole+Position) says 9" is ideal, with an acceptable range of 8.5-10".

Yeah, lots of guys run 255's on 8.5", not sure about 8.0", though....
