Default Can I get away with 255/35/18 on 18 by 8" rims?

I have this chart, but I'm not sure if they would rub or look funny. I'm considering 235/40 or 255/35.

18" Tire Sizing-

Rim Size 17"
Tire Width 225mm
Tire Height 45
Total Radius 12.49"

Rim Size 17"
Tire Width 235mm
Tire Height 45
Total Radius 12.66"

Rim Size 18"
Tire Width 225mm
Tire Height 40
Total Radius 12.54"

Rim Size 18"
Tire Width 235mm
Tire Height 40
Total Radius 12.70"

Rim Size 18"
Tire Width 255mm
Tire Height 35
Total Radius 12.51"

Default umm...

a good friend told me it might be dangerous
to do so... tire might come off during hard
cornering... or something like that.
i dunno.

I doubt it...the limit for an 8" rim is usually 245 for most tires...
