well, they definatly would not fit on your stock rims. what i would do is buy the tires and some wider, lower backspacing rims and make them fit. actually, what id really do is buy some 17's, bag it and body drop it to the doors...but thats just me

if you lay door, 22's would come up through the hood. the biggest i see on trucks that lay door are 17's or 18's. i guess that would look kinda cool with big rims stickin up over the hood. i guess what lolo's tryin to say is you can make anything fit anything. of course it helps to have a sawzall and welder handy...

The 11" wide tires should fit. The general rule of thumb is 4". You can mount a tire 4" wider then your rims. In your case you have 7" wide rims, so mounting a 11" wide tire, even a 11.5" tire is fine. If you wanted a 12" tire, then go for at least a 8-9" wide rim.
Will you rub? Maybe at full crank. Just don't turn as sharp, or like suggested, crank your torsion bars some.
Personally, I wouldn't buy Thornturds. I have heard way too many negative comments about them. If your seeking a All-Terrain tire, I highly recommend BFG All-Terrain tires. It's hard to beat them on or off-raod. They have the most victories off-road compared to any tire made. They have won the last 19 consecuative Baja 1000 races. Check out their web site for more info.
