James is right, it can be done, but it takes a bit of work. First off, if you are going to use a radial tire it will be easier for sure. Besides that, you will need to relocate the bottom point of the shock, and also massage the leading and trailing edge of your fenderwell as well as to cut off the inner lip of the outside fenderwell.
Have fun!
