in my situation I had to trim the front bumper and pound the seam flat to run 30x9.50x15. HOWEVER, I was running F150 rims which have less backspace (stick out more than a stock rim would). well, there you go, with the stock rims, the only other thing that gets a little rubbed is the swaybar.

Getting the Wheeling Fever

That's odd, cause I'm running 215s now and I rub on the rear shock mounts and the front sway bar during off roading. In fact, I had to grind down the shock mounts some cause it was chewing up the inner sidewalls. I do max the flex while wheeling, though. I don't know if that be why or not; just my 2 cents worth.

I like those wheels, $160 for 4 rims brand new isn't too bad.
I paid $60 for 4 used chrome ones (no tires) and $40 for 4 used wagon wheel style ones (with tires which I was able to use while waiting for my mud tires and alignment, not too bad!
