When my wheel wells are covered by dried mud the tires rub on dry mud. When my wheel wells are clean, absolutely no rubbing.

I see in your photos that you still retained your mud flaps, nice. I thought they still rubbed with 265/70/16s... I guess not. I thought the only option was to remove them when going larger. I'd like to keep them also due to road salt, etc. here in the winter. I think I have figured it all out. Thanks!

Mud flaps are great until you back into a rock... then you can say bye bye <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />

I recommend 275/65/16 it's worth the extra rubber.

(Do some states still use salt? In this day and age I'd prolly have the gov't buy me a new body if they are still using salt.)

Yes, I lost couple mud flaps backing into large logs. I managed to re-attach them back.

But hey, man, you never back into something <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> just

Just curious--could you have gone bigger than 31x10.5x15? Is your trooper stock height?
