you are going to try to install that size all around? or just the rear?

255/35/18 might work in the rear. not sure how you are going to pull that off in the front?

No I would like to run same size wheel and staggard tire. Ill try 265/35/18 rear since those are mounted. And I have 245/40/18 on the front but idk if that will fit?

a +18 offset in an 18x10 on stock fenders most likely will be a tough fit. I don't know what size I would recommend, probably a 225/40/18 or 245/35/18.

The 245/40/18 is too tall a tire.

Those are +38MM offset front wheels though.

I don't know is a +18 all around will work unless you stretch some super skinny tires on.
