I am having a hard time deciding on tire size. I am currently running 2.5" ott and rear spacer (Rusty's).
I've narrowed it down to 245/75/16 or 235/85/16 on the stock rims.
I will address the pinch weld and have no problem trimming the airdam/lower frt portion of the wheel well.
I just do not want major rubbing issues. A little offroad is ok. Just don't want it rubbing on the street (ie turning through dips etc).
Best info I can find seems that the 235 is about 1" taller (almost 32) and the 245 is about .5"wider. I know this varies depending on tire, but....
I had my mind made up to go with 235/85/16 Mesa's. so talk me into 245's if you think it is better

if you want to go with 145/75 you will have rub on your swaybar at full lock which wheelspacers can fix that

and i hear that with the 235/85 you wont have rub but I dont know for sure
