Arrow Will these big jokers fit?

I need some advice. Will 295/75 R16 tires fit under my stock '97 4X4? By the way, are these tires 32" or 33"?

I think the 295/75 are larger than 33 inches.I have 265/75 and they are 32 inches.seems like 285/75 are real close to 33s.I also think that while 285/75 will fit with no rubbing the 295/75 may rub.The best way to find out is have a shop mount one on your truck and check for the clearance issues

yes they will fit. you will need to level the truck with the torsion bars to avoid rubbing.
