They definitely will, Brad! When matching tires, as long as the size is the same, there will be no fitment issues. Since you mentioned having 205/65-10 tires, and the Kenda # AM3H490 comes with that, you are good to go. However, I do recommend double checking the bolt pattern on your wheel just to make 100% sure it's good.
The # AM3H490 comes with a 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern for the wheel and I included an article on how to verify that (it's not very difficult). If you find that you have something different, let me know in the comments below and I can get that squared away for you.
If your rims are looking good, we do also offer just the tire as Loadstar K399 - 205/65-10 - Load Range E # AM1HP56.

Hey Brad, did you have a chance to double-check the bolt pattern on your wheel? I'm curious to know if everything matched up well for you, as it could help others in a similar situation.
