I have 285/75 16 BFG AT's on mine for the time being. Been about 2 years I guess, no problems with rubbing or anything like that. I plan on lowering it a tad and going with some 285/50 20's on Joe Gibbs wheels in the summer and 275/70 16 snows in the winter....hopefully this will happen this spring.
