Must be the lower profile tire you have, but side wall height is not that much different between a 255/40 and a 265/35. Anyway, if it works, it works, I was just surprised given your wheel and tire specs compared to what I had on it that ended up giving me a lot of rubbing issues.

I might have had very slight rubbing on the front liners.
Here's the math for theoretical sidewall height for your tire and mine ...
25.5 cm * 0.40 = 10.2 cm
26.5 cm * 0.35 = 9.275 cm
So the theoretical sidewall difference is 0.925 cm. To convert cm to inches, divide by 2.54 cm/in yielding a 0.364 inch shorter sidewall height.
