Currently running BFG 37x12.50x17 on my 06 with a 2" kit to level out the front. No Rubbing so far. I have not had this thing at an angle that it rubs anyway. MPG's not great (13-15 mpg Mixed). Next set will be 35's though. This should make it a little easier to hook up to the Goose neck.

I ran 37x12.50r18 with my readylift level kit. They rubbed a little in the center of the wheel well. Also ran 325/65r18 with no rubbing

The most important part of this is the width and backspacing of the wheels. My buddy ran 37x12.5x17's on 17x9 pro-comps with a 4" lift with a leveling kit on top of that and they rubbed the inner fender wells.

It will also make a difference if you have a 250 or 350.
