Apparently these wheels are only available in 17x9 wide for 8 lug now, which means you'd need at least an LT275/70R17 tire to fit that 9" wide rim which = about 32" diameter - maybe a bit too large for a stock ride hieght 67-72 C20 without rubbing. What say the masses ?
My Michelin 265/75/16s are a shade over 31.5" in diameter and they're not even close to rubbing.
