Tire selection Question

My 85 needs tires. I have 4 2013 GS Wheels (fronts) 18x9.5. My local Firestone has a real good deal on 255/35/18 Firehawk Indy. Will this size be ok? I know that the overall circumference is about 1" less than stock.

well i guess they would work but your speedometer will read fast and you will have increased wheel gap. either of those would kill it for me personally.

Thanks, it is just such an attractive offer. I am still debating in my head. The cost for the 35 series tire is $85 per tire vs. $130 for the 40 series.
