My 2wd would fit 33's and I think the tires you are looking at are just under that, plus the 4wd's are higher. You could get a leveling kit for looks and to mave plenty of clearance and suspension travel. Depends on if you want them for 4 wheeln' where you could use the extra travel, or for snow/dirt roads where its not as rough.

good to go. the 275x65x18 is stock...so a 285x65x18 is about 1" wider and .25" taller.

if you're going to spend the money on the tires, why not get a Autosprings level kit and some 305 size tires?

enjoy the tires...most guys love them.
