On stock axle you have to watch out on backspacing and tire size, maybe try some spacers on wheels

Re: Front Tire issues??

You should have no problem.

I'm running 31x10.5 on 7' rims and the left front just kisses the steering link.

Also running 235/75R15's on 8" rims, no problem.

Just for grins 265/70R 16's on 7" rims ( NAPCO ) no problem.

My apologies,
I should have specified. Getting ready to purchase wheels and tires and wanted to know if there will be problems with my tire & wheel size choice.
