would this rub?

Posted this and want to hear your guys input as well. Putting on the daystar 2.5 inch leveling kit along with eagle alloy 186 17X9 wheel (5inch BS, +2 offset) with either BFG 285/70R17 or the Nitto 295/70R17 on a 4X4 XLT would this rub at all? How much do you think this would stick out from the fender, I have the chrome nerf bars do you think it could stick out past that?

The 285's fit stock and the 295's will fit easy with a 2.5" lift(they might fit stock). I'm going to be running the 295's on a 17" wheel with 5 in. BS and from all my measurements it will not rub. Oh yeah, I have a 2wd.
The tires will not stick out past the nerf bars.

LOL, when I put the lift on. The tires are already sitting in my garage. Then I need to decide which wheels. I'm guessing, depending on time, I'll have it all done by the end of November.

You should NOT get any rub from either set of tires!

Go with the BFG's longer thread life!
