I believe it will fit, but may need a slight roll.

A setup on RIMTUCK.com is running 18x9.5 +27, and 18x10.5 +30 and seemed like all he did was roll his fender.

Stock suspension? Yes it will fit.

235/40 front and 265/35 rear.

stock suspension height will fit fine without a roll, i've got 245/40 front and 275/40 rear and it's fine, however any drop at all = rubbing
tokikos + H&Rs + my setup = rubber chunks on the fenders, not good

I have 215/40/18 in the front and it fits and im scared that 245/40 might not..

Should I take your guys word? and I don't want no crazy 4x4. what is perfect tire size for stock suspension and will still look good?

also I kind of want the stretched tire look if possible please help me because I need to buy the tires SOON!

stretched tires on 8.5 inch rims? 225 will do it, but I know for a fact 245s will fit on stock suspension height, if my car wasn't in a couple pieces right now I would go take a picture for you, but i can 100% guarantee you it'll fit, I have 275s in back on 9.5 inch rims, they almost fit on my tokiko/h&r setup, but rubbed too much around town so i took the shocks/springs off, it did fit with the Koni Yellows tho on my buddy's car.
