Not likely. Thats a 31" truck type tire size. Width would have been ok but wayyy to tall

It would take serious work getting that to fit. It may be possible but require a ton of well rework to keep it from contacting the tire as suspension travels. Guys have done 29-30" tall tires before but not sure how modded the fenders were

Alright thanks. Do you know what the stock stud size? and would you happen to know where I can get the correct uni lug nut kit for a set of american racing slotted mags?

No idea on lugs but stock studs should be 12mm x 1.5 thread i believe. May want to double check that thru a search here

Re: Will 285/70R15 fit?
Alright thanks. I'm just in need of wheels and tires for my car and I am looking for any set that can fit a 275/60R15 in the back. I'm probably just going to save my money for some Summit look a like weld pro stars and the tires. But it would be amazing to find a used set.

275/60 has a better chance at fitting. Guys run that all the time. 285/70 is a heck of alot taller

Right. I just saw a good deal on craigslist but I decided I'm not going to get them because of the fitment issues.
