So what is the most common tire size if you dont want excessive rubbing or trimming the pinch weld?

Probably a 245/70/16 for no rubbing or pinch weld bashing I believe...

245/75/16 fits with rusty's lift and clears the pinch weld easily but it rubs the front air dam and only during full lock.

By the front air dam, you can trim that part correct?

Trimming the lower lip on the airdam some is what he was talking of I believe. You don't even notice it if done right. Max flexing requires you need to get more agressive front and back.

Cool, but what do you mean max flexing requires you need to get more aggressive front and back?

Even though I have the 255/70/16 I picked the 245's b/c mine rub. I only have a 1.5in lift, if I had a 2" lift they wouldnt rub at all. :wink:
