While they might actually be able to install them on your rims, The stock
rim width, especially with early 4 inch rims is really too narrow and will
compromise the tire.  I would strongly recommend against it even on later
4.5 inch rims.  You really need a min 5.5 inch or even better would be 6
inch wide rim.
