I run 255/55/18's on titan rims. You can probably get away with 285/50/18's though .

You'll rub. Those are like a 31.5" tire(I don't feel like doing the math or looking it up).

Just spend the money and buy some new tires. You can get some michelin take-offs from a vw toureg or similar. They come with 255/55/18's stock.
