Anyone driving on 18's

I have the 18" wheels on our Alpha, Thought I had the 16" (long story) Anyway with all the information here I decided on the GY Duratrac's but now I'm looking at the 275/70/18 still a 33 inch tire which is what I'm looking for in height but 2" narrower than the 305/70/16 that I wanted. Anyone running this 275/70/18? would like to see how it looks before I jump in and spend $1500 on 5 tires. I like the hummer rims so I really don't want to go aftermarket, And thought about buying stock 16's and selling my 18's. All that just seems to be a pita. I don't plan on doing a lot of wheeling but would be nice to air down when needed.
Will the 325/65/18 fit on my stock wheels? I know they recommend a wider wheel but I have put wide tires (12.50 on 8")on narrow wheels before with good results but this is my first H3 I need to ask the experts:)

looks like you have an h3x judging from your avatar. All of those had 18's. I've got some 18x9 rims that I might buy some 325 gy duratracs for. From what I understand, putting those 325's on a stock h3x tire will cause premature wear. Another member can correct me if I'm mistaken.

I'm new to the Hummer, that is correct it has the X package didn't even know what it was until i researched it. I decided to just buy stock H3 wheels in 16", got 5 off of ebay. will mount the 305/70/16 Duratracs. I think I can sell the wheels and recoup my money as they are in perfect condition. Back on track to plan A. Thanks for the help
