Get some chunky tyres on them! No stretched nonsense!

I am only running 18x8.5 Rota Gravels but I am running 245/40/18 tyres to fill the arches.

What do you mean no rubbing issues? think you may be too late for that they look like they will rub anyway, they rub on 225's let alone 255's
You may need to get your arches chopped and go wide

255/35/18 are going to look really stretched on 9.75" wide rims.

255/35/18 look like my 245/40/18 on a 8.5" rim because the smaller profile is made up by the larger tread width. I saw this when I tried them. I opted for my 245's because they were an easier size of Vredestiens to source.

See if you can try the tyre on the rim before committing.

im running 215 on an 8" rim at the moment that's a tiny stretch noting out the norm. i used a website called willtheyfit.com to work out what tire would work out to the same stretch small stretch as i have at the moment. it worked out that 255 was the closest take a look its a good website very handy

Ah wasnt aware you had those arches, you should be ok then still it will be close, wouldnt go stretched though, you may also want some tyres with rim protection as those dont look cheap wheels
