225/40-19 (front) and 255/35-19 (rear).

You may not have to make any fender modifications in the rear but chances are you will in the front. Compared to the OE wheels, the 8.5's will push out almost 2" further. The ideal offset for an 8.5" wide wheel is +35 to +45mm. You may have slight rubbing in the rear under suspension compression.

In the rear, with that offset, I pulled the black lining out and rolled the fenders... with 285/30-19's on the same size and offset wheel, there is a few mm of clearance when running -2.0 degrees camber... if I was at -.75 camber (stock recommended), they'd rub for sure... When I had 275's on there, they still needed the fender roll, but I could have gotten away without negative camber...

255's will look tiny...

fronts, I got no help - my fronts I ordered in the +40 version and they fit easily with a 255 tire width up front...
