My stock tires are 205's front and 225's rear, so I'd recon that 255's would rub, and may not fit the front wheels at all.

they wouldn't rub, you can fit 275s in the rear, but 255s really are too big for the stock phone dials

50 series 255s in the rear would be quite a bit taller than 225/50 (stock) or 245/45 (stock on Turbo S and a common fitment for regular 951s). This would have a noticeable impact on acceleration and your speedometer reading.
