Parish,you'll need at least a 9.5"wide wheel to run the tires you are looking at.I have a set of the wheels at the top I get you a weight on them if you want to how much they weigh compaired to a stock wheel.

why hasnt anyone recommended Toyo Proxes S/T???
i got my 275/70/16 for $430 tax, mounted, and balanced. best tire ever.
they measured out to 30.5 inches tall. on there site they have them as 31 inches. i think the 60's are almost 29 inches tall.

I run Toyo Proxes STs on my Tahoe,they give really good traction on the street,but are not in the same league as Nitto 555Rs or BFG Drag radials at the track.
