*HELP* 2018 civic sport hatchback tire size?!

[JayDee]

—ALL INPUT IS APPRECIATED—
I got a 2018 civic sport hatchback on factory 18” rims. It’s got 235/40/r18...

i got 20x8.5 +55 type r replica white rims..

i wanted to use a 40 sidewall tire but it won’t fit most likely.. i still want to protect the rim. Please don’t tell me to downsize, i already got the rims, trying my best to make it work... I’m thinking
245/35/r20 or 255/35r20.

i don’t care about being slower or anything, it’s for looks, this isnt a racecar. Please help. I will keep stock suspension..
Could i fit a 255/35r20?

Update: tried to do it today, but multiple shops said they don’t wanna do the job. They don’t wanna scratch the white wheels. Gonna go tmrw to a specific custom wheels shop where they have plastic on their tire/ wheel installer machines.. so let’s see. Have to see if they’ll even fit the car, I’m not too worried about the back as I am about the front. Just praying to god it does fit...

That tire/wheel combo overall O.D. is going to be over 1.5" to 1.8" more diameter than your current stock set up. Most likely you are going to get interference and rubbing in multiple driving situations. Not to mention another 1" of raised ground clearance for you car.
