do u guys think my new rubber will fit up good or not? (get your mind outta the gutter LOL) i ordered 305/70/16's Mastercraft Courser CT to go on my Dick Cepek 10 inch wheels. i have my bumper trimmed, i am only worried about them rubbin my leaf springs. FWIW i have add a leafs to raise it 2" in front, but that wont help keep it from rubbin the springs. think they'll fit?
im runnin the same tires in a 285 on the stock rims and it will rub my leafs on a hard turn bumper is not shimmed and no issues there. I have add-a leafs also.

I run the same tire no problem with them rubbing the springs on a hard turn.
You well like them tires, only problem i see with them is they like to grab and throw rocks.

With 10" wide wheels you'll be fine. I've ran 33x12.50's on a 8.25" wide wheel and 35x12.50's on a 9.75" and neither combination ever rubbed the spring.
it all depends on the offset of your 10 inch wheel. in most cases i have seen the 10 inch wheels in our bolt pattern come with the correct offset to clear the springs. however the tires do stick out a bit from the fender so be prepared for stone chips in your rockers

I agree you will like these tires. Good smooth quiet ride on the highway and great traction and cleanout offroad. The only time mine pickup rocks is when im in my driveway. If I get in the truck and move it in the driveway when I get out I will notice rocks stuck in the tires. I have never noticed them throwing rocks (havent heard rocks hit the truck) while driving down a gravel road. Im considering wheel spacers to solve my rubbing problem and to give the truck a wider stance.
