    Like, so many.
    I have no idea. Some people say they can fit 275s (and occasionally 285s) without any modifications at all. Very few people have that experience. I don’t think anyone who goes off road could fit that size without rubbing.

    This is actually a fairly informative thread. I'm wondering is there any aftermarket fenders or flares available that may look better than just chopping up the stock stuff?

    If you don't consider lifting, hammering, and trimming a problem, then no, you won't have any problems.

    Fiberglass fenders. But those would likely look pretty goofy without long travel.

    Attacking it with a saws-all is quick and easy, but if you take your time and cut small amounts at a time, it will look fine.

    Just a random TW pic I found:

    well, when a mommy and a daddy love each other....

    It's not really about being lucky. It's more about people lifting their rig so is doesn't rub at ride height, and then they post "doesn't rub for me whatsoever" because they never stretch the suspension out.

    There is also a huge deal with different brand tires. BFG m/t 285 isn't the same as a Toyo m/t 285, let alone a BFG a/t.

    Then you have wheel size, width, offset, etc...

    So not really, luck, but happening to have the same setup as someone else who doesn't rub.

    In the end, get your tires and wheels, and start cutting and hammering where they rub, and make sure you you it at full compression, and full left/right lock.
