If you put that size tire on a stock rim, won't it seriously rub on the inside. The factory wheels don't have much wheel backspace.

I am hoping that my 4 inches of lift over stock will make it so the tires don't rub. I have talked to guys running 315/70/17 that don't rub when they have added 2 inch spacers to the stock off road lift. I guess there is only one real way to find out.

It should fit no problem on the wheel, most people run a 12.50 tire on a 8" wide wheel

Thanks for the input. I am glad to see that I am not the only one who thinks they will fit.

I hear you. I am going to get them and deal with any fit issues after I put them on.
