Big tires....maybe?

With JBA's 4inch lift, would they fit?

It's the smallest 17" they make for that tire. Next step would be to stay 16" (real bummer) and get the 245-75-16's.... kinda small in comparison.

I would venture to say yes....you are talking about a 31.6" tire. I have the 2.5" JBA lift with a 30.5" tire fitted, and I could easily go higher.

With the right backspacing, I'd say it's doable.

this is the equivalent of 265/75 16 I think some one here fitted this tire size on a 2'' revtek lift

I fit a 255/70-16 on mine with NO LIFT. It works out to being a 30" tire and I have no rubbing issue. I also have wheels with a +25 offset ...

I can say excelent choice for tire. My cousin is running those and they are nice. even tollerable on the highway.

The tire you listed is 32" tall and 10.8" wide. With a 4" lift you won't have any issue with the height but the width might be an issue. What ever rim you put them on you need to get something with a low offset. Stock offset is +40, you will need to find something in the +20 range to get that wide a tire to fit without any issues. You will need to push the wheel out some inorder to get something that wide to fit, even with a "lift" kit. Getting a low offset wheel will do that.

A 255/70-17 will give you 31.5" height and 10.2" width. That will open up your wheel options a little more although I would still suggest you you get a wheel with a lower offset.

To give you an idea my tire is 10.2" wide and my rim has a +25 offset and I just make it with no rubbing and I have NO lift.
