I really want to see how the Federal RSR 595 Tire looks on 17" Stock Wheels. Does anyone have any pictures? maybe even with the 255/40/17 mounted on the rear? thanks!

it doesnt look that wide for a 255 tire.

because stock rims are like 7 inches wide, wider rim = wider tire

Stock wheels: fronts 17x7 and rear 17x8.5
I had a 255/40/17 hankook and it looked really wide. I was wondering why this pic didn't look as wide.

How can you say "it doesn't look wide" ? its a small picture on a computer screen. Also, not that a tire sizes are always exactly true to their branding, but a 255 is only (theoretically) 10mm wider than the same tire in a 245... 10mm is hard to see when looking at a 4"x5" picture.
Anyways look at page 1 of the link that berny2435 posted. They actually run on the wider side for a 255/40R17. R-S3s and Star Specs are the widest and when you look at the picture of an unmounted (loose) 595 rsr vs an unmounted star spec you will find that they are pretty close with the star spec being a hair wider.
Here is another picture of 4 unmounted 255/40R17 NT-05 next to 4 unmounted 255/40R17 595 RSR:
