The front is no problem at all.

The rear will work, but you will need to roll your fenders for that setup.

You cannot run anything more than a 245 tire, because if you do, it will not have any curvature on the rim and the sidewall will bulge and you'll rub due to the square sidewall.

im pretty sure you can run a 255. because the factory setup is 8.5 rear with a 255 tire and theres no bulging. if you imagine the wheel as a 9.5 inch wheel it is equalvilent to 28mm offset. it depends on the tire brand also
