they will fit. if its a highboy you can go even better, late 77 33s is about as big as you can go without rubbing.

Fit or not may depend on the GVWR of the vehicle and condition of the springs. The 12.5 is pretty wide. What kind of off set are the wheels.

I was wondering the same thing
I'm sure 31x10.50 will fit fine
but 33's would be nice for upping the gearing a bit
