Those are way too big...you may be able to get them out with spacers...spacers are not safe IMO...should of done your homework before you bought those tires.

New wheel's can correct it the right way. A 9" wide with 5 inches of backspacing wheel should help.

I think it comes out to a 35x13 wide... you can stuff a 35, but not anything over 12.5 wide..

Get new rims or a spacer.

A 325x60 is a 33x13 and the width of the tire on the OEM wheels is the problem. If they are a trail or mud grappler in that size the side lugs present more of a problem.
