The fronts will fit, but I dunno if the backs will without rubbing the fender on bumps.

There isn't much room between the rear suspension and the fenders.

those are gonna be pretty big for the rear.
it may be trial and error time so to speak.
if these are used and you can put them on the rear, do it, and keep an eye out for things inner fender, leaf spring contact, traction bar contact, and make sure there is room for some flexing
i know people get away with 15*10 with some wide meats, but it gets too close for comfort so to speak

thats all i can help you with
i have 15*8 (4.5" bs) welds with 255*60's and had traction bar clearance problems.
