Will 255/50/16 rub on front ?

I'd like to run some Falkin 255's on the front of my RS. These tires have an 11" tread width. Will I run into problems on the stock 16x8 RS rims? The 245's I have now have a 9.5" tread width. These tires are really good looking at a reasonable price. $107.00 per tire m/b, plus tax of course. If problems will be inherent then I'll just run 245's on the front and 255's on the rear.

Thanks for the input everyone. When I get the front end rebuilt I'll be ready for tires.
