I do not think so at all. My 03' with stock tires is pretty tight. My 97 had to have a 3" lift for 33's

im thinking that your offset on your rims is going to be the big thing, to much and your going to rub the fenders, to little and you will be hitting suspension components, i know for a fact that an older explorer and rangers will fit 285's(33 on a 16 inch wheel) and not rub unless you really try, id say go for it, just watch that independent rear suspension.........
