Those look an awful lot like 30" tires to me...

Be prepared to rub on the LCA's at full lock. New rims, spacers, or even just adjusting the steering stops will fix this.

I'm running 31's on stock wheels, but I have a 3" lift. I ended up buying wheel spacers because mine rubbed on the LCA on turns and in the rear, the sidewall of the tire was getting torn up. Of course, after the wheel spacers I popped off the flares. Then had to trim front and rear fenders.
