It's doable but will rub a bit. What gears are you running?

285/70R18 seems more common.

The stock rim is too narrow to safely run these tires per most tire manufacturer recommendations. Max width you can go on the stock wheel is 275. A lot of shops won't mount the tires due to liability reasons.

That's exactly what I am running on my 08 JKU. I have 1.5" Spidertrax wheel spacer and front end leveling kit and have no problems with rubbing.
