255/45/17's

Is anyone running them? I am running 245/45/17's and have a big slash(about 8" long) in one of my front tires. I am afraid to drive on it and have a spare set of 255/45/17's I took off a CTS. I was wondering how bad of a scrubbing issue I would have since I only scrub now at full left lock... And they would be going on the front. Rim is a 17x7.5 +38 offset. Also I am lowered 2.0 in the front.

They are taller and wider so will rub worse. IMHO a 255/45/17 is too wide for a 7.5" wheel.
