Sounds good. And Goodyear says those tires fit on an 8" wide rim.
Goodyear Wrangler DuraTrac
Then scroll down to the bottom of the screen and click on "View tire sizes available..."
Those are not only wider, they are also an inch more diameter than your stock tires. So your speedo, odo, and trip meter will be slower by about 5 percent unless you have the speedo calibrated for the taller tires. And your 3.73 rear axle ratio will "feel like" about a 3.55. Theoretically the longer legs will help MPG, but the taller, wider tires will have more drag, and that drag will more than offset the gain, so expect about a one MPG loss in fuel mileage.
The Goodyear Wrangler DuraTrac is set up to add ice studs, so if you wanted some very expensive winter tires, those would do that too.
