Yes........... after you cut out every bit of your wheel wells you have and install 2 inch wheel spacers so you can turn. Heck you could stuff 37's with enough saws all blades.
No you are going to need at least 6 inches of lift and you will still have to get wheel spacers or a set of rims with some extreme back spacing.

Yes they'll generally fit but they'll rub if you take it offroad. Make sure you have plenty of extra bumpstop length to keep the tires out of the fenders. A 1" body lift will help with clearance.
The rims should fit depending on backspacing, as with too much backspacing they could rub the spring buckets and the lower control arms.

Ok thanks fellas gonna try it out tomorrow night thanks for all the help!! I do have another question though if they don't fit could I put a 2" spring spacer lift on top of my 4"?

Re: will a 4" lift be enough?
You can but that's too much combined spring/spacer height for a short-arm designed lift. Simply put, the control arms are too steep and lead to very poor suspension performance onroad and off.

Ok could I get adj. Control arms and it work ok or would a body lift just be a better idea?

Re: will a 4" lift be enough?
Adjustable control arms won't help, you would need a long-arm suspension setup for that kind of spring/spacer height.
Keep your center of gravity low, consider trimming fenders and a small body lift to accomplish the tire clearance.
