you'll get rubbing on your front liner if you're that low. If you take it out you'll be okay, not sure about hard cornering. It depends if you are going to do coilovers or lowering springs.

I was going to post the same question. I have the same volks 18 x 8.5. Not sure of the exact offset but assume its about +30 (kinda flush). Im between 245's and 255's. Im currently lowered on Swifts and have gotten rubbing w/ my current 245 BFG kdw Gforce's. It was rubbing in the front inner fenders when the wheel was turned.

The width isn't too much of a problem (well, the rear might rub a hair since you are +30, but it's only an 8.5" rim so you will probably be ok). The height is the problem: stock is 25.3" those are 26.1". It will cause you to rub on the fender liners. That's why most people run a 255/35/18.
