Will 255/35/18 fit in the back?

I have 18x8 Villains (40mm offset) with 235/35/18's and this tire size is backordered. I just replaced 2 and can't seem to locate 2 more so I'm thinking about ordering some 18x9 Villains (30mm offset) for the back. and moving the good tires to the front
I have the tire-size calculator and 255/35/18's are the right diameter/circumferance, and they are available - I'm just trying to find out if what I have in mind for the back will fit - clear the suspension arms and muffler (Greddy SP).
I have GC coilovers on now. Thanks...

With that low of profile they SHOULD fit... I dont want to make any promises though. But 255 is generally the max reccomended to fit in the back without any worries about rubbing or need to roll the fenders
