They'll fit but I think you really need a wider wheel. I've been contemplating this as well. The tire will bulge around the rim. I think that's what the guy meant. I think I'm sticking with 12.50s unless I get new wheels.

Well I plan on getting new wheels but not the same time as I get the tires. So I was hoping I could run the stock tires for a few months and then swap to some tax slabs or spider locks.

I'm sure you could make it work, although not recommended. You will just have to run lower tire pressure to get a flat contact patch. How low? You will have to test

I ran 13.50s on stock wheels 39/13.50/16 iroks and they bulge right out, if you get a quarter inch spacer you won't rub at all, it started hitting my frame.. So for 40$ you can make it work. Well there the exact same offset as stock and width, my buddy also ran 38/15.50s on a Stock wheel.. They did rub but once he put spacers on it did t rub as bad. 13.50 is okay though

I figured if it did fit I'd have to run a lower psi but just didnt know if it would fit. Thanks for the help guys I really appreciate it. Hopefully ill be able to post here very soon.
