I wouldn't. It would be a stretch for it. You need at least a 315 for a 11" rim.

I used to have a 285/35 on my 18x11 and it was spread a little too much. It fit but it left rim with little side wall to protect it. I recommend 315's.

When I got my 11s I had 285s on for a couple months until I got my 315s with no problems.
