Depends on the tire brand. A nitto, yeah, a MT, doubtful

The bigger question should be, will it fit on a fox. Not w/o a lot of work

What kind of work will it need besides the quad shock removal? The inner fender covers have been removed.

just run a 275, that's the correct size for the rim. 315s on a 9" rim is going to be ridiculous and a waste.
