I've run a 255 on a 8.5" wheel with 30 offset and on a 9.5" wheel with 35 offset both of them fit under the fenders with swift springs. There was only a slight rub on the plastic fender liner at full lock, nothing to really be concerned about.

I don't see why you would have any issues, forgot to mention I was also running 15mm spacers in the front which is probably the only reason I was rubbing the liner.

^That seems to make sense. A 255/40 fits on the stock 8in wheels without any rubbing issues so I dont see why it would rub on a 9in wheel unless it had a crazy offset. +30 seems to be quite normal in my book.
