No you still need to lift, and with the different offset they might rub the fenders worse then factory offset.

^^ In addition to that, they would help if you were rubbing on the frame or swaybar, nowhere else though.

30x9.5R15LT fit on stock w/ ou any mods or weaks . I as well as several others are currently running them . I am saving my nickles and dimes for some Soft 8's cragars . I believe they have 4 inches of backspacing that will give me / you the look your wanting , maybe not . Just a littl suggestion .
