Question I have TIRE ? need answer ASAP

So there is a local auction by my house that big o tire is having and selling sets of tires for lik 25-75% off, closing down. Since Christmas is coming i was planning on getting sum new 17's for my Lt there are a set of

4 Falken Ziex Tires Size 225-45-17

(discount says they will fit.) I can probaly pick all 4 up brand new for 250 bucks. (orginally 117 a tire)

Just need someone to CONFIRM THEY WILL FIT.

I posted this, deleted it because I thought I misread your post and am now reposting it.

What size wheel are you going to put them on? I'm not familiar with LT's and what the wheel options are. I thought they came with 16s...

I was going to upgrade my 15in hubs to 17in rims 4x100 ot 4x114.3 i think are the sizes. I got those tires today for 205 bucks for all 4. So just need to get some rms for those tires

they will fit, and that is a damn good deal for those tires
unless you are running a rididulusly narrow or wide wheel, but they should fit anything 7-8in in width maybe more

You will still have plenty of sidewall with 17's, so the ride won't be that bad.
