i just put 30x9.50 on mickey thompson sidebiters and they rubbed on my bumper a little when i hit a bump turning more than half way but they have allot of backspacing. i just had to trim the inside lip off the bumper and they are fine

I have 30's with a 2" lift. If I hit a dip or speed bump too hard I have to reinstall one of my rear flares.
The front seems ok as the sway bar keeps it from flexing far enough to rub.
