Default Toyo OC M/t 35x13.5xR15 question

Will these 35x13.5xR15 fit on 15x8 Cragar steel rims? I'm about to pull the trigger on some Toyo's and want to make sure I can do the 13.5 or else I'll do the 12.5.

Thanks for any input

I just got mine a couple weeks ago. They are on 15x8 with 3.75 back space and they fit just fine. At full turn left and right it doesnt rub with my setup. Havent been offroad yet to see if will rub when flexed.

Yes, they will fit, I am running that exact combo and have been for 35k+ miles.

I did not need to grind my rotors either, but I know many do, it seems to depend on your individual rig.

does the wider tire put more stress on any part of the axles?

Yes in the sense that you are moving the tire farther away from the axle, due to the added width over stock. The offset of the wheel will also have to be less to accomidate the wider tire. The pressure will stress the unit bearing, balljoints, c's, and tubes. Is it a serious concern? Some would say yes, i've been running mine for over a year, no problems.
