With stock stuff it will work but will be very close to the sway bar in the front and frame rail in the back at full steering lock. You didnt mention what wheel size but 17's and smaller may hit the tie rod.

18x8 with 5.5 B.S. wiill work fine but 5" B.S. will work better.

I run a 17x9.5 with 5.5" B.S. and 275/40's but do to ride height had to cut wheel wells a bit to make room.
