well i can tell you a 275 wont fit under the stock wheel well. I run 245 and they stick out just a hair. You would need rear over fenders and either deep set wheels or the spacers. The spacers are nice.

275/18 is a big tire. I hope you are running enuff RWHP to require this much of a tire.

18x8 fronts - what tire size to run? 225/40/18?

18x9 backs - what tire size to run? 255/35/18?

It all has to do with offsets. Please do not give out misinformation like it's the right info...
