On the 8.5in ET52's with 255's in the rear you can run a 10-15mm spacer no problem (I've done so).
Yes, I realize 255's are not the 'ideal' size for 9.5 inch rim. They would be slightly stretched, but if anything that would help them fit, especially up front.
I've got both the tires and wheels sitting around, thought maybe, just maybe, I could make them work.

All the wheel clearance on a 135 is inboard and a higher offset will tuck the wheel in more to take advantage of that space... Lower offsets push you out into the fenders...
A 9" wheel needs at least ET45 or higher to clear the rear fenders with a roll. A 9.5" wheel would then need at least ET52 or higher... ET58 is the more ideal fitment that won't require rolling the rear fender (no work required)...
ET42 is poking 10mm more than ET52 and 16mm more than the no work fitment... No chance it's going to work
