Anyone running 225/70/15s on the front to avoid rubbing and 255/60/15's on the rear? Both are about same height. Any rubbing or bottoming out on bumps with the 255/0/15s in the rear. Pictures would be great, too. Thank you!!

Some owners report substantial problems with 255's, others no problems at all. I'm currently running 255x50 17 on 8.5 inch Sawblade rims using 2 3/4 adaptors and have no problems.
