I dont see why they wouldn't work without modding, the 4x4 should be bigger so it should fit, but i have no exp with putting them on a 2wd

What is the size of the tire?

You will need a jack and tire iron. The bolt pattern is the same.

They fit fine. The only thing you have to do is dremel out the center caps on the front to clear the dust cap.

thanks, thats what I needed to find out...I know its the same bolt pattern and the backspacing works, just remembered something about the center caps not fitting when going from 4wd-->2wd

Kyle, take a look at the pic...its a 31x10.50...fits fine

There is a ring in the middle of the cap that you have to make the opening larger. Its really simple.
