What's the widest tire you would run?

I wouldn't want to run wider than 255s on the front
You might need to shop for a tire with a bit more rim protection. The Direzzas I have now are pretty good in that regard. So are the RE01Rs that Danielle runs.

Why don't you just switch brands? All 255's are not created equal, and I noticed that...
the Conti's are narrower than other brands (my 255 Dunlops have a larger tread width and offer more rim protection from curbs). You should be able to lookup tread width (and sectional width) specs directly on tire manufacturer websites. When looking at 295 width tires for another vehicle, variances of up to 1" between brands were not uncommon in the same size range. And an extra .50" is all you might need for the extra protection.
