In my opinion the extra width will help with traction and I cant think of any downsides except that your car will stick to the road more, im not sure how much with 255's, and also your speedometer will be off because of the 50 series tire replacing the 60.

Not enough to worry about. 60% of 215 is 129mm tire height. 50% of 255 is 127.5mm tire height. so it's about a 1% difference.2000 Firebird convert, chameleon/tan, M5, Y87, TCS, BMR tower brace and panhard, KBDD sfcs, 245/50-16 GSCsComment

I’m new. I actually don’t own a Camaro or firebird. I do have a 2000 Camaro 3.8 fly by throttle and 4l60e. This is installed in a 1980 Triumph TR7...2 weeks ago -
