Expert Reply:

The 5.30-12 tire size is 21.9 inches in diameter and has a section width of 5.6 inches. The 175/80-13 has a diameter of 24.1 inches and a section width of 7 inches.

So basically as long as you have room between the frame and the inside of your current tire for 3.5 more inches, and have room for 1.5 more inches between the top of your current tire and the fender you should be good.

For a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern rim and tire you would want the part # AM31985, for a 4 on 4 inch bolt pattern # AM3S120.
