Some people will go square for the track (275/35/18 very popular) to make the car understeer less and “more balanced” - you also gain the ability to rotate the tires to evenly distribute wear.

So I guess it depends on what you are after. If you have a set of square 18x9.5 wheels and are happy with the rear traction, I would personally try out a 255 up front to maintain the factory stagger, as long as cosmetics are not an issue.
Not sure how cosmetics factor in, they're already 18s.

Then question being, 255/35 or 255/40?
