well idk how big your front tires are but the width is about 10inches for this tire. your rim is 7.5 inches if still stock. you can fit it but idk if it'll match your front

you'll have a drag racer look going on just b/c it's so much wider than your other tires

Mine is just a plain ol Laredo 2wd...and im trying to trade the wheels for some stock size, I just figured id ask if they would fit because they were free and have about 95% tread on them...and the previous owner had the mismatched tires..i personally can't stand it. But I dont have the money to up and buy a matching set

If your rig is only 2WD, you should be fine. If you put them on the front, you might find some rubbing but on the rear is okay. I've been where you are, need tires and no money.

Just a point. Firestone has a deal. With their credit card, you can buy tires and pay it off in 6 months with no interest. This is at Firestone stores, not Sears. As with ALL credit cards, be careful.

well I actually have a guy coming sat to look at them and hopefully buy them for $80-$100. I'll use that and go get 2 good used tires that fit. But I appreciate the help...i tried to search but some topics haven't been discussed.lol
