they will rub but you could trim to stop it. 30x9.5x15 is a better size on stock.

I ran 31's no problems. Would rub a little when turning at full lock, but otherwise fine.

yep the front will rub when you turn more than one and a half turns on the steering wheel and if you go wheelin the back will rub as well. you can get a set of spacers or differnt rims and get away with out having to lift it.

I've been driving with brand new 31 inch tires since October 2010 and I was fine. It only rubbed on the LCA's at full lock and in the rear when I would hit hard bumps with people on the back seat.

Before lift:



With lift:

I'm running 31's with 1.5 inch adapters cause the wheels are 5x5 lug pattern. I also shaved the fenders. I get Zero rubbing with stock suspension.

Lifted or not, you will always rub if you have wider tires on the stock rims. You have to get rims with a different backspacing.
