im not sure on the tires but turning will be a problem, even with the a-arms trimmed the wheel will still hit them when you turn. i had a 4-6 with 17s and i couldnt make a full locked turn.

Youll have to trim the rain gutters on the lower control arms and the best tires size im running stock size 235/75/15 and it tucks nicely and it turns lock to lock fine but on sharp turns they rub a little, but i have rolled fender lips and no probs with them hitting that way.

Hey ernie I had a 4-6 on my truck with helpers in the back with staggered size.  If i remember correctly 215/60/15 frnt with folded wheel well lip  and i think i had 265/60/15 in back.  It has been a while trying to do off memory i sold the truck a while back  hope this helps  and i was able to turn lock to lock no prob.
