Re: I hope you guys are right!

If it doesnt... A couple cranks on the TB and maybe just a bit of plastic trimming and you should be good to go

Re: I hope you guys are right!

I fit 305's with 20x8.5's with just a touch of trimming the front valence. But it was 4wd not 2wd

Re: I hope you guys are right!

285/75's fit the 4x4's no problem...they should be standard equipment ..btw, 305/70's are same height, but wider, and they also fit(a few cranks & a little trimming)
