    Got a deal on these tires, my question is will they rub? Has anyone run that wide of a tire on a 04+? Thanks

    GXP's came stock with 255's, they fit just fine depending on wheel offset.

    A low offset wheel will rub.

    Tires are a little bit tall. Stock are 26.7" tall. Those are about 27.03" tall.

    Well within the 3% they suggest.

    The 3% is for difference in size between two tires. 3% added to 26.7" is 27.5" and that definitely isn't fitting without rubbing issue.

    There should be no rubbing with the correct offset.

    GXP's ran 255/45/18 up front, those are 27.04in and the 255/35/20's are 27.02in.

    You can run a 245/45/18 all corners without rubbing aswell with stock 18x8 rims, bumping up to a 255 section width shouldn't change anything either so long as the offset stayed the same. We are only talking .3in wider tire here.

    If he ran a +45-50 offset wheel to match the factory rims, it should be pretty problem free.

    Well I'll find out later today. I have 8" all around running 255/45/18's and I never had a issue even loaded up. Granted these are 20" vs 18", but my rear suspension has been replaced and doesn't sag. I'll post a update once I have the tires mounted.

    Just to update... They fit and don't rub at all. I'm not sure of the offset, but they are 8.5.
