4x2 or 4x4!? I believe this might make a difference. Several folks here have had this tire/wheel combo. Do some searching and you'll find your answers. Plus, if you've already ordered them, it looks like you're either going to be okay or need to do some trimming. Looks like you'll find out first hand. Good luck!

I had that setup early on and had a very minor rub!

Trust me - the look alone out weighs that little rub!

I have that combo. First thing before you mount your tires is have your wheels checked for run out on a road force balancer (hunter). If there is any excessive run out you can return the wheel or wheels. You can't return them if you already mounted the tire. Next road force balance all of them making sure the "wheel man" knows his stuff.
It has been a nightmare getting the nibble out of the steering wheel with this combo. Smaller tires balanced right don't seem to have the problem as these larger tires......After 6 months of fighting the nibble I and others come to the conclusion that the steering rack is not strong enough for 160lb wheel and tire combo...I am hoping for a steering stabilizer solution in the future.

If I had to do the after market wheel and tire thing again. I would have gone smaller and less aggressive tread on the tire.
