Question Will 275 40 18 Fit?

Ok,
After searching it seems there is no definitive answer so im going to ask straight forward. No opinions please, just straight facts.

Will 275 40 18 tires fit on the stock rims?

Will 275 40 18 tires rub on the front?

Can 275 40 18 tires be run front without spacers?

Can 275 40 18 tires be run on the rear without spacers?

Thanks in advance!

i wouldn't run that in the front. I can't see you getting around not rubbing let alone the tire sticking out abnormally.

although, I could be wrong.

sorry, all i have is an opinion.

I think since it is my daily driver im just going to stay with stock size. Plus Tirerack has good years on sale for 103 a piece and you get a $50 rebate if you buy 4.

Thanks everyone for the replies. It is a good point that all tires are not created equal.

I just brought home a pair of 275 40 18 sumitomos tonight that i picked up BRAND NEW in the bags off craigslist for $150 for the pair. Even if i mount them and dont like the way they fit, i could sell them for what I paid easy. Good looking tire, i cant wait to see how they look on the back of the car...
