Picked them up for a grand, the rubbing over grooves is starting to get old though. The back ones may be a little wide at 275 and stick out a tiny bit, maybe I should go with some 245's so they are in the wheel wells, any thoughts? Or do some fender shaving, have no idea who to go to though.

The wheels look good maybe if you ran a 265/30/20 in the rear you would be fine it more than likely rubbing on the liner bolts on the inside of the fender

That is exactly what i think it is doing, rubbing on the liner bolts. Would it help removing the liner or is that cheesy? Very dry in the desert not much rain but don't want to look cheesy or hurt something. Thanks for all the comments and answers guys, this forum is awesome. Still going to get some daylight pics going.

As you can see not much room and tires stick out a bit. May try new tires, get them back in the wheel well.

I think you should change the tires to 245...how much bumpier is the ride on those rims?

I have almost the same setup on my h but my rear fenders are shaved a little bit. I'm running Falken 275/30/20 in the rear which do seam to have shorter sidewall giving the tire a very mild stretch. I still rub every once in a while, more so with people in the back. I've had them on for about a year now without any major issues.

Look into shaving the rear a bit and see i that helps.

Not so. I have 275-30 on 10 in wide wheels in the rear with NO rubbing.

Any idea of what kind of place I could look for to do fender shaving, is this expensive or pretty easy? Ice, I wonder what the heck the problem is if your not rubbing, don't get it.
