just going buy what the others on this site have said and what i have read in 4x4 mags. you or previous owners must have put a suspension lift or body lift on your truck or the fenders are trimmed.i have 31's on mine and if the suspension compresses i have and 1 1/2 clearance with the fenders.an off road mag i subscribe to had a chart on what tires fit what trucks with and with out lifts.

a 750 is going to be too much carb for your engine. Try a 650
