Default Tire fitment on wheels

Hey guys my car is an 08 IS250, I just purchased 18x8 wheels, my tire size in the rear are 255/35/R18, can I just put those tires on my new wheels? My tires are still pretty new so I don’t want to have to get new ones

Yes, with minimal "bulging"; but the tire brand/model itself might make it even more. Example, even 255 40 18 Michelin Pilot Super Sports "bulge" a tad on my factory 8.5 wheels.

255/40/18 is fine on 18x8.
