Tire question

I am not really sure where this thread should go, so I figure ask here. (Since thats what it says under the forum name.)

I have some 15" X 8.5" Centerline Convo Pros. Right now, I have a set of Bald 265/50/15's. There is almost no tires for that size or anything close. What I am wondering, if I can run 255/60/15's on there.

As I speak, the tires look to be a little too big for the wheels. (Wide.) Also, how bad will this mess up my Speedo?

255's will be fine on a 8.5" rim. I have them on my stock IROC rims which are 8", and that's the biggest tire I can go.
