Some have the maximum rim width listed as 8.5" other brands at 9". Best to check the spec sheet for your size on the manufacturers' website.coastietom said:

There's a good chance you'll need the pinch-weld-mod with a 9" wide rim. If the backspacing is 5.75" or the stock 5.5" you might be o.k., but most of the 9" rims have a 4.5" backspacing.
Since there are a limited selection of tires in this size, approved for a 9" width rim, I'd either use your stock rims, or find an aftermarket 8" or 8.5" width rim, if you are set on this tire size.
Nitto TG states 8.5" max. rim width.
BFG AT KO doesn't list a 275/70/18.
Toyo AT also state 8.5" max. width.
Goodyear Wrangler SilentArmor has a 9" max. rim width listed at Tirerack.com for this size.
