    the front to rear of the wheelwell is where your problem will be...

    I have tried a 29.5x9 and they hit on the top end, made a small grove in the center of the tire. These tires grow taller when they get rolling.

    I have 28x15x10.5 with a 3.5 back space wheel and the only thing I had to do make them fit was trim off the outer lip of the fender.

    I hope this helps.

    I've got 10.50-29s under mine,(ladder bar coilover) and you need to modify the front part of the inner w/house and cut the snubber brackets off and they will fit,no rail or floor mods needed.

    I guess the big factor here is ride height.

    Alot of tires can fit, but is the car hiked up in the back???

    I'm sure everyone would agree......post up some detailed pics of your car. The engine bay looks interesting.
