I found this in the FAQ's under Wheels & Tires:



265/70-16 - Possible chance of slight rub lock to lock. The 265's are 30.5" tall, and that dimension can vary from tire to tire, mfg to mfg. Some members report running 275/70/16 with minor rubbing as well. Do a site search and you will find more on this topic.

I had 265/70/16's on mine at stock height and no rubbing on the front, light rubbing on the backside of the back tire with the plastic wheelwell but easily fixed by ziptiing it to the frame.:banana::driving:
