depends on the wheels, and they won't fit on stock wheels. Well, I wouldn't suggest them anyway.Builder/Owner of Badass Panther Wagons

I wouldnt want them on the front...
the 235 70 15 I run on the front would rub if my vics didnt sit oddly high in the front like some do.
Will the guy sell just 2 of them??? and only get these if you are comitted to having fat overgrown tires... they are huge!

A tire that big will be absolutely terrible for handling. Get a 255/60 if you must, but any 255 tire will not be happy on stock wheels because they are too wide for the stock 6.5" wide wheels.

I like that tire size. On a 2WD F150.
Way too large mang. My P245-60R15's almost rub in the front.1990 Country Squire - weekend cruiser, next project
