    So questions to those running a 255/85/R16 on a third gen. How's the clearance in the wheel well? ie; How close is the tire to the rear of the front wheel well? Anyone running these tires on an SR5 wheel? Any rubbing on frame or anywhere else? If you guys have them, could you post a pic of how close it is to the rear of the front wheel well? I am hoping to retain the mud flap if possible.

    I had these on my 2009 with stock steelers. Only rubbed on drivers side frame at full lock. If/when I get them, I will be running a small 1 or 2 inch lift and maybe some wheel spacers. FYI, this will be mainly for looks and not wheeled hard. At least not for a couple of years lol.

    Yeah, I read that. I'm just trying to gather more info, especially about the rear of the front wheel well. The last tire this size I had was the KM2'S, and those little badlands are rock chuckers. I would prefer to keep the mud flaps to protect the side of the truck.
