Why only square on the rims, and not the tires? You can do square 255/35 on 18x8.5. That's what I'm running now.

With those tire sizes you are going to have a lot more sidewall than the stock setup. Normally to keep the overall rolling circumference as close to stock as possible, when you increase the tread width (i.e. 225mm to 235mm,) you either stay the same aspect (40, aka 40% of 225 etc) or go the next step lower to 35. You went up in width and then also increased the ratio to the next level. Your speedometer is going to be off by a noticeable amount and your car is also going to look like the tires are much too thick IMO. With the sizes you listed your rear tires will actually be around .6 inches shorter in diameter than the front tires.

Those tire sizes are all over the place, so I would not recommend that setup. For those wheel specs a 235/40/18 all around would be more suitable.

Correct. No fender work necessary with a 235/40/18 on an 18x8.5 ET35 all around.
