Also, any perceptible steering impact from the 255 on front? Would hate to numb things up even if only a tad.
Take a look at this thread to see what others have done with spacers and various tire sizes on OEM wheels:

You already own 12.5 mm spacers. I would get the tires and try the 12.5mm spacers first. If they don't work take them off and order something more conservative. I'm not a fan of 10mm spacers because I have not found that they sit flush with the wheel's mounting face on those that I have tested them with (due to the taper at the hub). I have not tried them with OEM wheels... others seem to have success with OEM wheels and 10mm spacers.

A 255mm tire on a 9" ZCP wheel should have plenty of support and i would not expect a perceivable "numbing" of the steering. A 255mm tire on an 8.5" wheel may result in some numbness. I would definitely not hesitate to run the 255/275 tires on ZCP wheels. I would probably stick with the OEM tire sizes on OEM 220m wheels which are 8.5" and 9.5" widths.
