Will they fit alright on the stock 16x7 in rim?
My friend is upgrading his truck to a taller lift and 40's can i run these, of course with a lift.

You can run them without a lift with minimal rubbing. I have 33's on the stock steelies and they only rub at full stuff while turning all the way. I am just too cheap to buy spacers...

When you want to post pics in the forum all you need to do is put [ img ] (without spaces) before the URL and [ /img ] (without spaces) after the URL. Nice looking Jeep btw.

Edit: After looking, at the top of the message box when you make a post there is a little icon with a mountain on it. You can also use that to post pictures.

You may need a 1 to 1.5" spacers to push out the wider 12.50 tires to avoid any rubbing lock to lock steering.
