might not come to that though, i had to take the front corner bumperettes and the front mudguard brackets off my sportrak to fit some 235/75/r15 to it. the back was fine, but without a suspension lift it lacks bounce over the bumps!
the only way you'll know is to fit them,(if poss) and take bits off where needed. :smiley:
