My mechanical ability was limited to an oil change. I ended up doing spacer pucks front and rear no problem. Like kh202 said, so easy! Basic tools needed.

You missed the "but......" in the second half of my post. I'm aware it won't work, but for someone who insists on doing it- let them go on and then be up shit's creek without a paddle.

You can't even mount them. No tire shop will install tires making direct contact with suspension components. There is no but, it does not fit.

Instead of doing tires right now, spend the money on spacers or rims you like and run the stock tires for a while. Then when you recoup the money (between $200-600 depending on what you choose) which will be easier than covering the initial cost of tires, you can purchase 35's and throw your spacer lift on and everything will work as intended.

Your going to need to buy the wheel spacers if you want to use your stock rims for sure, your asking for trouble if your don't even if the seem to "fit".
