On my last '85 I took off my 10 inch wide Einke's for those. They were called Rock Crawlers but look exactly the same. They fit fine.
However, when I upgraded my rotors(80's Landcruiser) and calipers (late 80's IFS) on the front, the wheels hit the caliper. I bought All Pro's 1.5 inch spacer and then got an earlier rear axle to match the width.
I have no idea how they fit on newer vehicles. Only SFA's

I was going to get The soft 8's for my 94 pickup. But, I had superbleeder luck and found Outlaw II's on craigslist dirt cheap. Clean black rims look great with beefy tires

I had outlaw IIs on my 4runner before I got cragar soft 8s... but they didn't have 3.75 offset, plus the PO put a crappy coat of gray paint on it... so it was chipping.

cragar is not the only people who make that same rim.. go to americas tire/discount tire we carry them usually in stock.. les shawb probably has them too.. they are the same price all around..

they stick out a bit from the fender, but not too much. maybe an inch max.
i had 31x10.5s on chevy 15x9s with 4" backspacing, that had'em outside the fender about 2". threw rain and crap at my window all the time. a little more behind the mudflap is ok with me.
hey, p.s. if you don't buy the tires and rims at the same time, compare your rims circumference to each other and make sure they're all round.
i've been fighting with a local Kaufmann Tire over a balancing issue. I think it's the tire, they're saying it's the rim, so i'm going to buy another rim (which i need for the spare anyway) and if it doesn't balance on this rim i'm demanding another tire.

going from 31 to 33 is like going from the 4' end of the pool to the 12'.

sorry eric but what ive heard and seen with the KM2's is not good for you wanting to have them last long.. just keep a good air pressure (like 35-40) and rotate and balance them like every 5k
