Technically, they will fit over the wheels, but the sidewall is going to be too small on the tires, and you will end up with a shorter wheel than stock ratio. With stock ratio wheel, whether it's a 15 or 16 or 17 inch rim, the tire height always ends up being 25.6 inches tall. The tire you mentioned is a 24.4 inch tall tire, so you're going to end up losing circumference and therefore your mileage is going to suffer and your speedo is going to be off.

I'll simplify it for you. The tire you should be running on 18x9 is a 275/35R18.

No, you are not understanding he is saying that if you get that rim you should get a 275/35/18 all around if you went with an 8 inch wide wheel in the front then you can run a 245 width.
