Tire Size Question?
A couple of us stock suspention 4x4 guys would like to know if anyone is running 32" BFG's. Are there any rubbing issues? I'm running 31 x 10.5's with no problems currently. Thanks.

Re: Tire Size Question?
You should be good up to 33"s. I've got 265/75r16s (32s) and no probs.

Re: Tire Size Question?
I have a 2WD 1-Ton with 285/75/16's. I had a very slight rub on the right side, but that was it. So on a 4WD, like they said, go with 33's and you should be fine.

Re: Tire Size Question?
I currently have 33x12.50's on 16.5 wheels on my burb, and I am getting ready to swap them out for 16" wheels and I am up in the air about tires.
The work fine, but as you can see the driver side tire rubs on the steering gear at full lock. Currently looking at 285/75 R16's, since these are an inch or so narrower, but I am thinking about going an inch shorter?
