the will not fit w/o a modification of the bolts....consider this option --> LINK
having performed this mod, be aware that with 265 rear and 245 front, I
experienced front tire rub if over 75% compression....say, when hitting good
size dip in the road at high enough speed. i can either scale back to 235 front,
but instead, i just go a little slower when encountering these know dip(s). when
it's time to buy new tires, then I'll go to next size narrower tire.
