    Yes they will, that is what I am running (4 1/4 backspacing). I have 215/60's in front and 235/60's in back. I do have 5/16 spacers in back because one side did rub when I turned, but others have run them without spacers and been fine.

    I am running 15x7 in the front with 235/60r15 radial TAs and 15x8 in the rear with 255/60r15s. I put a backspacer in that was a little over a quarter inch as I was gett some minor rubbing around corners on the leaf springs. Also, if you have custom duals, you may find tire to tailpipe interference.
