OK to run 255 F1's on the front?

My drivers front is completely worn on the outside after only 13k miles. So I need to replace the fronts and get it aligned. Any issue running 255's all the way around so that I can rotate the tires?

Although the SRT Engineers don't recommend them, lots of people do without issue. The engineers concen was rubbing under EXTREME driving conditions, otherwise you won't have a problem.

Just to put it into perspective:

245/45/20 - 28.7" tall / width - 9.6"

255/45/20 - 29.1" tall / width - 10"

Almost a 1/2" difference in width?

Both the 245 & 255 are measured in mm. The sidewall (45) means it's 45% of the tread width.

No sweat. Ran them all around for about a year, plus my car was dropped almost an inch with KW V2s.
