for a 265 sect width, no! 245/35 would be closer to stock. unless you want a taller tire...

dude there's no such thing as a 265/40/18 tire...... if u really want it to be close to the stock diameter, get 275/35/18.

If the Stock wheel is a 18in wheel and it has a 40 series tire (which it is, and it does), and the wheel he is using is an 18in wheel, and you want to keep the Rolling Diameter the same as Stock then I'm gonna go out on a limb and and say that maybe Edit: We should both got use a Tire calculator..lol

As for the second quote ..... Try Looking Here!!

Here it is, stock tires 245/40/18 25.7 inches tall, 265/35/18 25.3 inches tall and 275/35/18 is 25.5 inches tall. You don't wanna go 265/40/18 since that's 26.3 inches tall. Hope that helps.

i swear to god, some people dont think, or dont read. I have included a tire calculator above, its really easy to use. the stock tire is a 245/40/18. a 265/35 is better than a 265/40 tire. a 265/40 tire will work but the diameter will be larger than a 265/35
