Question about 99 Spec wheels and tire sizes

Hey everyone! I just recently picked up my FD a few months ago and am in the process of picking up some 99 spec wheels (the 5 spokers, not the BBS wheels). Had a quick question about tire sizes.

A popular choice while searching seemed to be 235/40R17 and 255/40R17. My question is, despite the wheels being staggered and, admittedly, a bit too skinnier than what would be optimal, would it be possible to fit 255s all the way around? A guy here locally is selling a set of 4 255/40R17 Nitto NT01s at a steal of a deal and I wouldn't mind picking them up and running them for a bit... Just didn't know with the 99 spec offset (or should I say inset... need some spacers stat, ha!) if 255s would be possible up front.

Thanks for any input! (And thanks to Supernaut for directing me to the right forum! )
