It should fit without a lift/1.5" wheel spacers added and be fine for street driving. Will have to trim the front air dam more than likely. Look at the manufacturer specs for your tires, my 275/70R18's were the biggest size I could mount on my stock 18's (7.5" width).

I have the 285/75/17 TOYO MT, a similar tire, a tiny bit smaller then what you are looking at. I run stock Rubi wheels with spidertrax spacers, flat flares and no lift. Normal driving is fine. Light off-road is fine. A few weeks back when I was in the mountains, I was turning around by driving up on a bank along the 4x4 only dirt trail I was on. The back drivers side tire rubbed up in the wheel well. I was not disconnected. The rub was loud enough to hear and I easily found the rub mark. No damage was done, but this was a mild trail by many standards. So, in short, if you plan on doing a lot off-road, you will rub with those tires at some point. If you want to use them for a while until you can get a small lift, Im sure you will be fine.

I would love to post pictures but due to a Parse Error and the JK-Forum's Runner Plug In system being out of date I can't load any pictures. You could search my previous posts for pictures...
