I think you will need to roll the fenders because when you hit a bump, your rear tires might rub. Are you lowered?
But anyways, that combo should be fine.

not trying to thread jack but I have a similar question. I currently have 225/45-17 and Im lowered on Illuminas/S-techs all around...will it be ok to do 225/50-17? I found a deal on some snow tires in this size.
