I don't know if the heights are any different, but my '96 regular cab
Sport 4X4 didn't rub with 30x9.50 on 15x6 rims, but the tread was rounded,
so I put them on the GenIII 15x8 rims and now they rub when turned all the
way to the right. And that bites, 'cause if I knew I was going to have to
listen to the tires rub anyway I would have went with bigger tires!! Mine
does sit a little lower in the front though, she has a slight rake.
