Hi all, the time has come to replace the rubber on my '88 2wd stock Ranger. It currently has the factory 14" X 5.5" wide steel wheels. After a few days of google searching, it seems that there are very few tire options available for this size wheel. The only (possibly) viable option that is interesting to me are these General Grabber A/TX 27X8.5R14LT

I called my local tire shop, and they told me that they were not sure that these would fit, but that they might. Has anyone out there run anything in this size on stock wheels like mine? (I currently have 205/75/R14s on there).
I'm hesitant to buy these without knowing if they will fit, I like the look of the wheels that I have, but I might need to go up a size to 15, much more tire options if I do. Pic of my truck, just because
