pretty confused though. the width 255 is in mm right? thats like 10 inches, surely you want the tyres to have a smaller width than the wheels?

rear wheel is 9,5J with the 255 tire. depending on type of tire it has more of a stretched look. if i use wider tires, i think it will rub the wheel arches

I have 35% tint on rear and side windows but the law just would not let me do that to the screen. Cool car.

yes but where the tyre makes contact inside the rim that is a narrower width. The 255 bit is the width of the surface in contact with the tarmac, also the more wider you go the more overhang you will have to protect the rim edges.
For the drifters they usually go narrower to get the stretch look.
