    For street use may be okay but it you take it off road at all and flex the suspension a little you'll be rubbing. With a lift and only 31's I still get some rubbing.

    Psycho, are those the tire companies specs as I used a calculator for the average size.

    Gee, Kahuna sounds like you had to do ALL of the items I mentioned...

    Those won't fit! I've got a 2" lift and had to trim a bunch - still rub slightly when turning and going over bumps.

    I have 265/75/16's.. they are exactly perfect.. I had to trim off maybe a 1/4 inch when I ran chains in the snow.. also.. I've run the front cladding into the ground a number of times.. sometimes I start rubbing again... that front cladding can bend in a little so some people's may be different than others. I hardly believe that without a lift, looking at the tires I have, you will ever fit those on there...
