Default Will 275/70/18 fit?

I have 2.5 inch lift. These tires are 33.2 inches. I'm a little nervous that they are too big to fit in my wheel well. The wheels are 18x9 with +10mm offset. I would love to run 285s but I'm worried that it's not enough offset and will rub my upper control arm. Any thoughts?

I have a 3" lift with 285/70/17's. Any larger of a tire on my truck would rub the body mount in the back of the wheel wells. I had to trim my running boards and had to modify the front of the wheel wells to minimize rubbing. It still rubs slightly at full lock and ocassasilnaly when reversing.

Thanks for the info! Maybe I should go with 275/65/18 just to be safe.
