Default Will these tires fit?

I have an '04 SE Disco - no upgrades (yet). Currently all original equipment.

When I get some extra cash, I'm planning on a 2" lift along with sizing down to 16" steelies with some bigger tires. In the meantime, I want something to go on the 18" hurricanes that are better than what i've got. Since my current tires have just about no tread left on them, anything would be better.

That said, I found a lightly used set of Goodyear Wrangler AT/S tires (275/65/18), that I could pretty much steal, but i'm not sure if they'd cause any issues due to the different size (OE is 255/55/18). Thoughts?

Any feedback is appreciated.

How do you like your Dura Trac, from everything I have heard, they are hard to beat.

As for the original question, I wouldn't mount that size tire without a lift or you will be limited to flat level roads with no dips or you'll get into the metal.

You'll rub a little bit with that size off road, on road you'll prob be fine.
I run 255/60/r18 and its about as big as I would go without a lift off road road.
