A 285-55-18 is close to a 255-70-16. You can check them out here. http://www.superford.org/garage/calculators/

I don't think an 18 will fit a stock rim.

I'm sure either one of those would hook lots better than stock.I would go with one thats a little smaller in diameter than stock...maybe the 28.9 or 29.6 inch tire.
