I'm probally going to get a new set of 245/75/16's for my Libby. What kind of rubbing issues can I expect. I'm hoping to have the tires and a Frankenlift installed at the same time. I want as few rubbing issues as possible and not get too small or too large. Thanks for your help.

It all so depends on what type of tires you are buying. an all season tire wont rub as much as a A/T or M/T..

I have 245/75R16 Firestone Destination M/Ts on stock 2003 Limited rims. They rub when I turn close to full-lock and when really flexing it out. I didn't install the bumpstops with my Frankenlift (Skyjacker springs, rear). It doesn't bother me, since it all happens going no more than 10 MPH. I plan on doing more front bumper surgery, taking out the foglight areas. This should eliminate rubbing when turning. Also, I plan on taking the fenderwell linings out of my KJ, and spray it with some undercoating. Calvin56 has done both of these things, and doesn't get any rubbing.
