Visually - probably 255/35-20 if you're after a staggered look and you mean 20 x 8.5" wheels.
More 275/35's on 9's or slightly wider if you aren't.
Compared to the load capacity of the OE tire sizes, the 255/35's are a little small, but you can get that back by running them at a slightly higher inflation pressure (I'm guessing something like 36 - 37, or about 4 or 5 psi more than what the OE tires call for). Which is probably a good idea for another reason - a little more protection for your wheels because 255/35 is a pretty short-sidewall size.
