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.

you will most likely have to go to dumps the exhaust will for sure be in the way... i have 275's on 17x9 03 cobra wheels and had to put a small indent on the drive side tail pipe..

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.
