255 50 17s on a Dart Sport/Duster

Has anyone successfully used 255/50-17s at all 4 corners on their Duster or Dart Sport?

I'd like all four of the same size tires - 245/45-17s will work for sure (based on a huge amount of data from 72bluNblu and others) but, to me, the sidewall seems a tad short. The general thought is if one uses at least a 17x8 wheel with 19mm offset (5.25"), you can use the 245-45-17s - a 25.7" tall tire. I'd like a little taller sidewall - even a slightly taller tire - but I don't think a 27" tall tire (255/50-17) will work in the front without rubbing. Any real world experince here?

Thanks all!
