How wide is the wheel? I assume 9.5, your about at the limit, maybe a 285, although I don't know if they make a 285/35/18. Any wider and your treading on thin ice, what you really need is a drag radial. Check out BFG

You should also consider some suspension mods if you are looking for more traction. Some lower control arms and a torque arm will help quite a bit.
