Default Toyo R888 255/35/18 on 10'' wheel?

I'm considering on ordering Toyo R888's for 968.
Optimum setup would be 235/40 front and 265/35 rear, or what do you think?

I'm currently running 275/35 PS's rear, and I have problems with tires rubbing the fenders in harder turn. Actual width of 265/35 R888 seems to be 274mm, which might be too much for the rims.

But, do you have experiences fitting 255/35 R888 to 10'' wheel? will it fit nicely, or is the rim too wide? recommended rim width for 255/35 r888 seems to be 8.5-10''.

265/35 would be best, but I don't think it's worth risking to order 'em if they'll have the same rubbing problem as current wheels have. rear wheel ET brings tires bit more outside than OEM rims.

Hey Matt
I would definitely not use the 255 on a 10" rim. It will have a stretched appearance to it. Toyo in their guide shows a 9" being perfect.
