I would ask tire store, they know what works and what doesn't!

Not unless you changed your wheels, the 1994 model came with 17" wheels.

Let us know more info of your 18 inch wheels front and rear. Width, offset and brand model if you want.

275/40R18 already is too tall a tire, 275/35R18 would be more correct, as for the 255/40, that's a bit too tall, and would be taller than the correct aforementioned 275/35's rears. It would look weird. I would go with 245/40 to match hight a little better or even 255/35- [255/35would be slightly shorter than stock front, but it's okay there].

Let me know the specs of the wheels, it should say behind the spokes if you don't know the numbers. I can suggest more sizes that will work

8.5 wheels sounds 👍 18s will go. With the 35 sets, I read a 96 with 275 -40-17 on all 4
