I tried some 17" rims & tires from my brother's 2004 (?) Dodge. They were 35x12.5s.
They looked good, but just barely fit. I had to space the bumper forward about 3/4". They also rubbed the against the springs when turning sharply. They were a lot quieter than I expected on the highway.

Are those a stock wheel? If not, then they probably fit better than Dodge ones.

Here's my dodge with 3rdgen dodge steelies. 295/70R17. Axle widths increased 4" on the front and 5" on the rear... in order to fit them nicely.

u2slow, they are probably not, the center caps said EAGLE on them. As you can see I had a ***** of a time getting a couple of them off.
