It might fit, but a 295/45/18 is 28.5" tall, as opposed to the stock 245/45/17 or common 295/35/18, which are both ~26" tall... Leads to about a 10% speedo error.

I got the front already. They are 255/45/18. So maybe go with 295/35/18's in the back?

Is it ok if its a different brand? Because Nitto nt555 dont come 295/35/18

I have 295/35-18 in the rear... it's pretty close to the exhaust, but it would have to be a little wider to actually hit it. 45% section width will be way too tall. 35% will make your speedometer about 3% slow, not noticable.
