I have not got my tires yet, but I have been checking these sites/threads:

This wheel fitment tool is definitely worth the investment.

I'd definitely roll or cut out the outer fender lips (I cut mine). I was able to fit a 275 on 17s on the back with relative ease, though I used spacers to change the offset (BS requirement is almost assuredly different for each side). And for what it's worth, I measured a little more than 11.5" inside the stock tub. Sadly, I've got 11" rims for the rear, so a mini-tub is in my 2013 plans.

Trev,
Was that a 60 series on the 17's? & what was the total back space needed?
Thanks

They're my buddy's wheels and tires, but I'll check. He and I both had to use small spacers for different backspaces side-to-side.
