they will fit they will make the tire sit out further approx. 1" -1.25" depending on the bs of the stock wheels. just check local laws to make sure the tires dont stick out too far

4in back spacing with 12.5 wide tire. just to give you an idea. 12.5 in tire on a 15x8 rim looks a little wider than if you where running a 10.5 on a 3.75 back spacing
sorry couldnt find a straight on shot

lay the rim face down and put a straight edge across the rim. then measure from the straight edge to the wheel mounting surface.
