325/60/20 on 20 inch oem rims

I know this has been discussed alot on this forum and I have done the searches and read the threads by Nebraska and 07screw. Nebraska has the BFG AT's and has some rubbing at full turn. 07screw has the K2's and has rubbing also but says there will be a problem if he goes off-road. My question is if I get an All-terrain tire instead of a mud tire will I have this issue also if I go off-road. Correct me if I am wrong but isn't rubbing caused by the width of the tire and not the diameter? According to Nitto's web-site the specs on the 325 are 35.12 height by 12.91 inches wide. The 305 is 33.07 by 12.6 wide. I have a 07 FX4 screw with 20 inch oem rims and a 2 inch front end leveling kit. I'm wanting the 325 because it fills the wheel well better but if there will be problems I will just go with the 305. One other thing I want to keep the rims and not lift or modify my truck anymore than the leveling kit and no spacers.Thanks.

THe rubbing is caused by a combination of the tires width and backspacing. They will probably rub the frame at full steering lock.

I have 305/55/20 of OEM wheels, they rub the control arm at full lock but its minor. I do not have a leveling kit on my truck and I think the 305/55/20 looks perfect. If I had a 2" or 2.5" kit I would go with a 35" I think BFG makes a 285/65/20 which is close to 35" and the width would not cause any rubbing at all, on the other hand it is a more narrow tire so you have to decide what look you are going for. Good luck.

Thanks Raptor2, but if i cannot make the 325's fit I will go with the 305 Cooper Zeon LTZ like you have because I think a wider tire will look better than a tall skinny tire. I know it will not fill the wheel well but it will look better to me.

Bump. Raptor please post (or e-mail) some pictures if you have them.
I am interested in going with the 305/55 as I would prefer not to go to a 35" tire.
