    Did you review and read THIS thread from the beginning? That size is dicsussed, as well as 285/16-18, so you can compare those specs, plus I give a reference to a tire size calculator to help you figure it out, in post #7 and #23, Dub gave a tire size diagram, and I attached a picture showing exactly what may need to be trimmed....

    Remember, the search function is your friend....especially with a VERY common question like this.

    They ended up fitting with minor trimming to the front. These are the 275/65R18's

    Yokohama 280/60R18 Geolander AT/S on 18x8.0 wheels require a bit of trim on the front. Very minor.

    Remember that if you're using aftermarket rims with a different offset than the +38 OEM this is good for speedometer variance but won't tell the whole story on what cladding trim might be needed...
