From your question, you may need to brush up on tire sizing parameters. The '255' is section width. This means, roughly, that if you were to cut a strip out of the tire ACROSS the tread, the strip would be 255 millimeters from end to end. That's a little less than half-an-inch. In other words, the tire, mounted on a rim, would be very slightly wider.
Although you didn't mention it, I'm assuming that your tires are 17" as you said the wheels are. That means that they are the same size as the factory tires WHERE THEY MAKE CONTACT WITH THE WHEELS. There is no reason for slipping.
