Definitely gonna need a wider wheel. With less backspacing. Stock wheels and oversize tires like hitting lift spindles on 2wd, and 4wd truck for some reason.

it depends on how wide your wheels are if there 17x7s i dont think it will work but if its a 17x8 i think it should but im not a 100% postive

I've seen 35x12.50 on the stock rims, just don't over inflate the tires or you will have tire wear issues

The problem with stock wheels is the larger tires will want to rub the spindles. I have been down this road before.
