Wider tyres (275/65R18) on original 2019 VX rims

A variation of this question has been discussed hundreds of times, but usually the original poster either has a lift kit or want bigger tyres. My question is simple:

I'm getting a set of BFG T/A KO2's but would like them slightly wider than the original dimensions (265/60R18). My 2019 VX is otherwise standard. Can I put on a set of 275/65R18s on the original Prado rims?

Cheers!

You are looking at going from a 30 inch tyre to a 32 inch tyre. There will be a 40mm diameter change and obviously a 10mm width increase. The rims will be fine as you are only changing the width by a tiny amount. However, I personally haven’t had experience with the 32 inch tyres without a lift so I’m not sure how all the other clearances work.
