I just realized something...your tires are quite large. Not only in section width (255), but also in overall diameter. The stock 205/60R14 on my GSL-SE measures ~23.7" in diameter whereas your 255/50R15's measure more like 25". Unfortunately in some quick poking around, I couldn't come up with a 235, 245, or 255 that was the proper overall diameter. Yuk.

Yep, that's a problem. You see, the "50" means a lot of air that gets hot, and the tire "grows" by almost an inch when the weather is hot and the car driven for about 100 miles. So there's no space left.
Oh, and mark: I've got Racing Beat springs under the car... It's pretty stiff already.
