No. A stock X with the upgraded wheel package comes with 255/75/R17 tires which is 32" x 10.5". The stock wheels are 6.25" BS, so 5" BS will stick out slightly farther.

Are they 15" wheels, though? A 15" wheel with 5" of back space won't fit over the brake calipers. 31x10.5 is a common size of 15" wheels, which is why I asked.

Thanks so much guys! Right now it's about as stock as it can get and has the stock 225 tires on it, pizza cutters! I will only have it in the city so no serious offroading, except in Chicago winters! But the 31x10.5 on a 16x8.5 wheel with 5"BS wouldn't need any suspension mods. Thanks again guys! This forum is great for someone like me who knows nothing and is trying to learn!
