265/70-18 will fit like it was supposed to come to you that way.

May I suggest: Tire (and a few wheel) options spreadsheet

It fills out the wheel wells much better than the thin stock 245s, handles soft ground better, and actually corrects the speedometer.

I run 265 70 R18 on my 1958, they fit great. The spare tire does not lat flat tho. There is a small stamped steel bracket spot welded under the truck to help hold the stock 245 in place and it keeps the tire from laying flat like it should. It's not a big deal but the tire sits a little lower toward the bumper. I'm sure it could be removed, but I wasn't gonna mess with it. It would be interesting to know if that's just a 1958 thing because of the smaller tire the 1958 comes with vs. the standard LC and Fe versions.

This is my 1958 with 265/70-18 Wildpeak’s on it. I have had no problems out of them.

You can go up to 285/75R18 (with 1" Spydertrax wheel spacers) on OEM rims.
