HELP - will 285/65 fit on stock?

[VX KAT]

Hey guys - I am looking at putting Nitto Trail Grapplers 285/65 on my stock rims (18s) and the guy at Discount Tire just scared me. He said I cannot put them on a 18X7 rim. Is that TRUE?!?!?! Will they fit on my stockers until I find different rims or do I need to get looking for new rims right NOW???

HELP!!

EDIT - I do plan on lifting the VX 2" first!!

I have the Nitto Terra Grapplers in 285/60-18.......

Are you sure they're "65" ???

The 285/60-18s require only a small 4" triangle to be cut off the front OUTER corner of cladding.


And yes, the 285/60-18 NTGs say minimum wheel width is 8" and our 18" OEMs are 7"...but mine haven't fallen off yet..
