I borrowed a set of Moabs with 245/75R16 MT/R's from a friend off of his Rubi and they rubbed slightly in front of the wheel and even more so on the pinch weld. Of course that is on my '02 pre-lowered with no lift also, but man did it look ever so sweet. He wanted to sell them to me for $500 and I thought that was a great price so for you to get them for $425, that's a deal. At that price, throw a Rusty's lift on it and you're still under a grand for lift and wheels. That's my intenttions when I get back from Afghanistan. Good luck.

I'm running the moabs with 245/70's with no lift. I only get a slight rub on the front of the wheel well at full lock and almost none on the pinch weld. I can see where the wheel touched it but it has'nt caused any problems. I'm happy with the look and ride as it is but may add a lift someday.

I am not running MOABs & MT/Rs but I have had 245/70/16 Destination A/Ts on my Renegade rims for the last year.

I have the same experience as labman1... Slight rubbing at full lock but I love the size of them... They look absolutely awesome compared to the stock tires...

I run Moabs with 245's and a lift and I still get rubbing on the front bumper. I trimmed the bumper but I still get some rubbing. It is esspecially annoying when I try to make a tight turn in reverse. It sounds like I am ripping off the bumper. I would advise against it until you get a lift.
