If you stick with a square setup, that would be 235/40R18. Widest in the rear that is approved for an 18X8.5" wheel is 255/35R18, but many here squeeze on 265/35R18 and do not report problems with doing so.

Are you running 18x8.5 ET35 all around? I would just stick with the 235/40/18 size. 255/35/18 is the widest approved rim width for an 8.5" wide wheel.
