15.5"? Holy crap, that wide. Better plan to change gears to 4.56 or 4.88 to overcome that much rolling resistance. Your going to need rims with a really low backspacing too. Are you getting some kind of good deal on those tires or something?

Yeah thats pretty wide. My 35"/13.5" tires really bog down my truck and I have 4:10 gears. Def. gonna need a regearing for those big mammoths.

You can fit them. You just need the right wheel. You won't be able to put those on stock wheels and make them fit.
