It will fit until you hit a pot hole. Then it will fall off. But what the heck the “stretch” is cool.

It will fit just fine, and when your stock tires wear out you can easily upgrade to the normal 245/40 front and 275/40 rear tires.

Some people here say 275/40/18 will fit the rear stock whees (without any handling issues, etc.), some say they won't (easy to blowout, etc.). Maybe we should start a poll!

Your comment (...and when your stock tires wear out). I read it as, stock tires on stock wheels. My bad... I've been reading too much in the wheels section lately!
