Just curious if this ended up happening?

I ran the 255 "OK" ....i was NOT eating up my fender or anything, but i was still slightly rubbing on spirited turns and on crazy driveways my tire would make contact with the fender. This was on max stock camber adjustment at -2.5. With the wide fenders, i have absolutely zero rubbing and i decreased my camber down to -2.0. Much better!

Keep in mind this was with AD08s which are supposed to be among the widest 255's available. So you might have better luck if you go with a narrower 255. But i'd still recommend wide fenders, just so you don't have to run so much neg camber. I never noticed how much my tires poked with just the pulled fenders, until i did a side by side comparison of the wide fender and pulled fender.

Pulled OE fenders on the left, Flared OE fenders on the right (this was a test fit, so i had the same camber setting -2.5):


Flared fenders after paint (can't remember if this was -2.5 or -2.0):

Are the flared fenders the same ones as the pulled ones on the left or did you purchase other OE fenders and have them flared? Also, if you don't mind me asking, who flared them? It looks great!

Really liking the build. Keep up the good work.
