What he's saying is that with the current offset of your wheels, there's no need to stretch the tires. It WILL look dumb if you just stretch the tires and do nothing else. Stretching tires is done for fender clearance purposes, not just looks. Now if you are going to put 20-30mm spacers on to make the wheels stick out past the fenders, that's a different story.
And your wheels are called "Thruxton" not Thurton

No need to go e-thug on any one.

Most any place will mount a 255/30 on a 10" wide wheel. Les schwab mounted my 255/30/20s on my 20x10 wheels no questions asked. Just stop in a place and ask for a price quote to get tires mounted an balanced. They will ask you the wheel size (most places charge more for 20"+ wheels) yadda yadda yadda. Some places will tell you that the tire isn't wide enough and you could have issues (discount tires for example)..just go to another place if they say no. Don't go in there and ask to get your tires stretched, they will look at you like you're an idiot.
I think that you will find that you will want a larger spacer than 15mm, it will look dumb if you have tires that are stretched for no reason ( If your fenders are not rolled flat then thats a sign that you don't need to stretch your tires. Most people that run a stretched tire have fenders that are rolled flat and pulled (as was my case) a bit to clear the tires/wheels. I was never really a fan of stretched tires, but I had to run a mild stretch to get the wheels to fit (plus the prior mentioned fender pull/roll and some neg camber) I went with the widest tire I could, then got the rest of the clearance needed with neg camber and the pull.
It is your car, but keep your mind open when asking questions and looking for advice, You will find that most people on here offer solid advice, esp if multiple people chime in with the same answer.
