They should fit pretty well, may need to roll the rear fenders. I'm running 18x9.5's +20, no fitment issues on the front, the rears needed pulled a little. I'm only running 235/40-18's though. You should be able to use a 255/35 on the rear I'd imagine.

The fronts will be fine, but the backs you will need to roll the guards to stop scrubing in bumps and corners. I'm running 9' + 38 in the rear and still needed the guards lipped

Wider tyres will help,but its the sum of numerous suspension up grades and alignment settings that will ultimately give you the performance handling ;)

Well I have full set of adjustable arms,uprated arbs,front and rear struts and tein superstreets with pillow ball top mounts,so got quite a decent set up as it is just not sure if it would handle better with 8.5 on the front and have less stretch on the tyres??
