not at all man

1. too wide for safely mounting...if you could even make it work on a 7.5" rim
2. a 12.5" is the absolute max you can fit on OEM rims and not rub anything...period
3. you will need aftermarket rims that are at least 10" wide IMO and a hell of alot of backspacing/offset. most likely end up with almost 1/2 the tire sitting outside the wheelwell
