Sure, just don't turn the steering wheel or you will rub like mad.

31's would work with a body lift. Still might rub
30x9.5 should fit with no body lift and should not rub, although I think some have had some minor rubbing with them. A few have even had the stock 235/75 tires rub.

Because only Super Swamper makes them and they'll be lucky to get 20,000 miles out of them with daily driver use. :)
