Did a search but could not find. Will Goodyear GSD3s 265/35/18 rear and 245/35/18 front fit stock 18" wheels without problems?

they should fit. I don't know about in the states, but OEM 18's come with 40 series tires.

but doesnt a 275 tire call for a 9.0 to 10 inch rim and 9.5 being optimal? and a 245 in the front wont that be a little to much jump from stock. I think I would go 235/265 jump if it were me.

265's call for a minimum of a 9" wheel. Stock is 8.5" so it's close but not within spec. Could you do it? Probably.

I've seen people running 275's on an 8" wheel before without issue but I would never go against the tire manufacturer's recommendation when it comes to something as important as the tires.
