I suspect that your undercarriage has slightly bent which will reduce the clearace a bit.
There should be no problem to fly with a 250 prop.
You can remove the gear and reset it to restore the correct hight.

Landing gear disposition notwithstanding, we have converted several Yak-55M to Cleveland Wheels.
Please contact me off list.
Cheers!

You can also check you main gear "toe" alignment. I have seen some 55's with toe out which will result in spreading the gear, making for reduced prop clearance

Cliff, this is an interesting question.
My YAK-50 was converted to Cleveland wheels AND brakes (hydraulic) when
it was down in Texas after it first arrived in the U.S. in the early
90's. I can take pictures of mine, but I was wondering if you have a
standard kit? It would seem that what would work on a 55, might also
work on any other single seat YAK, or possibly the 52, although that
would be a REAL pain if dual brakes was an option.
Point being, a lot of folks have wanted to duplicate my Hyd Brake and
Cleveland wheel setups and I have not really been able to help them
other than to send pictures. You have a KIT?

Mark,
George developed a Hydraulic wheels and brake conversion kit and service bulletin to install Cleveland wheels and brakes into the Yak-52 (see attached).
We haven't received a lot of demand for this conversion.
As such, we didn't make a production run of the lower axle forgings. The one-off price was pretty steep.
To make it reasonable, we'd need to do at least five sets.
The rest of the kit is off-the-shelf items.
Give George a shout for more info.
Cheers!
Cliff

Cliff,
How steep is pretty steep? I’m interested in doing this on my 50 and my 52.

I converted my first CJ to Clevelands, and yes it is spendy especially if you go with new Double puck Cleveland wheels and brakes rather than used. I had over 3K invested in mine not counting my time. If anyone is looking I do know where there is a set of CJ Clevelands with lower legs (were put on in Texas) which the customer took off and went back to pneumatics.
Best,
Doug
