Default Are 275/65 R18 ok on a stock Limited 4x4 2006?

Hi guys. Simple question. Currently My D is riding 265/70 R18 (Toyo Open Country) and it's time for a change. Original size on the D is 265/60 R18.

I found a nice set of 275/65 R18 (Cooper Discoverer AT3) so i wonder if they can fit without trouble. What do you think?

Also, i have my spare tyre 265/60/18 and i guess i could keep it for emergency but the AWD and the ESP could get crazy for the diameter/circunference size, like spinning in excess.

265/60 R18 Diameter: 30.52 Width: 10.43 Circunference: 95.88
265/70 R18 Diameter: 32.61 Width: 10.43 Circunference: 102.44
275/65 R18 Diameter: 32.07 Width: 10.83 Circunference: 100.77

Any idea??

Going up @2" in diameter. Probably have some rubbing when turning.

Default It works :)

My D now has new tires. I got the 275/65R18 and feels great, no rubbing and looks more agressive.

I lifted the truck 3/4 inch with the torsion bars to give a little space in the front, and made the alignement to keep the tires in line.

So if you wanted to know, these tires fit quiet well.

Just picked up an 05 Durango with 20" tires and rims on it from a Ram 1500 . 275/60/20 no rubbing , handling is great .

I have an '07 with 285/65 18 nittos and it only rubs if I hit a bump really hard. the torsion bars are cranked up to provide clearance but the rear fit pretty good. The ESP does not like turning though. It will kick on every once and a while going through a bumpy turn but I try to just turn it off when I drive it. Over all the ride is fine but the performance off road is pretty impressive. The added height and aggressive tread made a huge difference in the snow last winter.
