On stock wheels you'll probably run a little bit. Need a wheel with some back spacing

from what ive read from other threads yes they will rub. and a quick solution is to buy new rims with about a 4 inch backspacing on them. cragar makes some good rims for cheap like $42.99 a rim from summit racing.

Depends on the tire itself, mud, all terrain or street tire. I had 33x12.50s Xterrains on stock rims and they didn't rub on the street but if it flexed the slightest bit they hit the leaves and rubbed the control arms when turning. The size of side lug or lack there of will determine how much if at all they will rub.

Yes you want 4" offset on a 15x8 or even a 15x10 if you like the swqure side wall look . The stock rim is

15x7
5.25"bs
5-4.5 lug pattern


Best of luck man!

in the radial flavor correct?

I love my TSL Radials! i could not be happier with them!

And here is a picture of the soft 8's with a 10.4" wide AT (back when i had them in HS)




ignore the bent in fender bottoms haha. But yours will stick out a bit more but not to much. It'll look mean man
