That tire is about the same diameter and width as your current tire.
What's important for fitting is to make correct choices on the wheels.
You need to get the correct backspace number. That determines where the tire sits.
You want to stay near the factory number of 5.75". Any more, you'll rub on the brake calipers or A-arm. Any less and you will stick out more and have rubbing issues on the fenders.

Well to update I did end up buying the Ballistic Bullets. they are 18" with a 4.5 backspacing. And I am going to wrap them with Nitto Terra Grapplers, as Mastercraft didnt have the size i was looking for 295/70/18. Im getting my tires tuesday, and hope to have them installed by the end of the week. If i can figure out how to upload a pic from my phone i will. thanks everyone for the tips and help.
