[QUOTE="IndominusHuman, post: 432076, member: 17255"] Yep. You should be good. I’m not sure what backspacing those wheels have, but when moving to a bigger (wider as well) tire, you may run into issues like [USER=18877]@MacGuyver[/USER] mentioned, but a quick search and it looks like those will have a 4.5” backspacing so that will work great. I would verify though since I don’t know the exact model number of those rims. In the chance they don’t have enough backspacing you can run a small wheel spacer, but make sure they are torqued correctly. Some people don’t like spacers (I really don’t prefer them), but when it’s a small spacer and they are done correctly there should be zero issues. [/QUOTE]
