I have 275 Mickeys on my stock 17X8 rims for the track. It says the minimum size for a 275 tire is 8.5, but it works for me. Im not sure if the factory 18's are 8" wide or 8.5"....if theyre 8.5" your good....8" id stick with a 265 at most.

the stock 18 is 8.5 wide... widest approved size is a 265. A 275 will fit but buldge a bit. many guys running them. 255/45/18 is a perfect fit all around if u want to rotate and are not going FI - IMO
