Re: tire question NEED help

some info on what wheels you have would be helpful dont you think?

if your wheels are 7.5" to 9.5", it will work, but that is dependent on the offset of the wheel too. Since the tire is 2" taller than stock, you might have issues with it contacting the lip of the wheel well over bumps and such depending on ride height and suspension quality. Might have some hammering to do to fit the tire in some places too, should not be too much
