Depending on wheel offset and tall your tires stand during a pass, you might be able to fit those tires under factory fenders. Fender will need some persuasion via BFH but still factory. Mini-tubs will be safer bet and they usually drop some weight in the process.

I ran that tire on factory wheel wells. I did use a hammer a lot, but they fit. The biggest issue I had was with the rear bumper cover. The tires would grow enough to hit the cover. They were far enough into the cover that I did a little modification to the cover itself.
