i think they will be fine...we have 275s on a 9" rim stock and they are right at the edge of the rim...they dont overflow at all really
i dont think a half inch is going to be killing anyone...go for it

If there were better trained people in their possitions at these national tire chains. This post would not exist nor would your worthless attempt at a funny comment (FLAWLS1T/A). Thank you (Xsta Z 28 and others) for your honest opinion to an honest question.

Is the 275x40x18 the same outside diameter as a 245x40x18. I was told that the 275x40x18 is larger than the 245x40x18 and that it would throw an ABS light because of it. Not Sure, I will look into going with a 40 series all the way around.

Do not follow these peoples foolish advice . . .
The best tire for that wheel is a 265 or 245 . . . NOTHING WIDER!
People, what is to point of forcing tires beyond their design construction? ESPECIALLY on a 18" wheel!!! There is not enough sidewall.
And guess what? A tire that fails due to improper installation CAN KILL YOU!
Remember Ford and Firestone? Quite a few people died due to the incorrect use of the tires.

Plus when talking about 17" diameter, is different that 18" diameter . . either way a 275 is NOT RECOMMENDED for a wheel smaller than 9" . . .

The hard thing here is people chime in about 17" tires in 18" tire threads, and things do not automatically translate . . .
Just becuase a 275/40ZR17 tire fit a 17" x 8.5" wheel. Does not automatically mean a 275/35ZR18 is going to fit a 18" x 8.5" wheel . . .
I only site manufacturer's recommendations . . .
