ummmm I don't know tons about the metric sizes. I believe, correct me if I'm wrong, Is about a 35. if it is you can run them till you get the lift but while off roading they may rub the fenders while flexing. they should be fine once you get the lift.

yep! I think you are going to want to trim your pinch Seam. that is the corner that stocks out from the body by the tire.

35's with stock suspension and stock flares will rub on every bump you hit unless you add bumpstops to limit pretty much all of your up travel. you could run flat flares or cut factory flares, but by then you probaly should just get a 2" budget boost.

Some DO run 35s stock. Most run no larger than 33s just to prevent MOST problems. a 33 in 18'' would be 275/70/18 a fairly common 18''. You can also run 16'' or 17'' wheels to have a better selection of tires and USUALLY cheaper price. 4.5" - 5.0" backspace without spacers is best for most things. stock backspace is 6.25"
