the only thing that will rub is the plastic sill but that can be either modified or ripped off and replaced with sliders

Matman on here runs this size just for off road use on his d2 with a 2'' lift, i'm pretty shore they threw his speedo out 10km's and sapped the power slightly, know rubbing on standard off-set

TIM.

yeah i run 285/75/16 Silverstone M117 extreme sports on my d2 2 washers put on steering stop ever so slight rubbing on full compression my speedo out by 12km/h ,what you get when you go the bigger tyre is increased speed in low gear so you end up entering obstacles a lot faster which is not a good thing speed = breakages so reducing your transfer case is highly recommended, normal driving if you have a manual its not as noticable but power is lost in take off and steep uphills ,you can also get 4:11 gear box change which will improve the later ,
most people recommed 265/75/16 your power loss is only slight and your transfer case speed is slightly faster ,

Yep, the Truspeed is the go. They come from Iceland or somewhere random like that, but they are available from 4x4Intelligence in Melbourne. These also have 2 speed settings, and that allowed me to gain engineering approval for different size road and offroad tyres.
