I was able to see where they were rubbing. It also happened to
line up on a screw head as well. I took off the front flaps and put a large
notch about 1.5 inches wide in the center and cut them to maybe a half inch
below the inner fender. As long as you don't look in the wheel well,
you wouldn't even know. That eliminated about 90% of the rubbing.
Once in a while on a fair sized bump during a hard turn the suspension
gives enough travel to rub, but very little. The rubbing I experienced is
only due to the width of the tire and not the height.
I am surprised that I am able to run BFG Radial T/A's 255/70/15
after hearing the size complications. I have them on AR chrome rims
which have 6.5 or 7 inch width (I forget). I agree that the turning radius
is not that great on the 4X2 clubs. Maybe I have clearance advantage due
to the lighter weight of the 3.9L V6?
