Depends on the size you're going with, but my 305's rub on width, not height. It's been 14k miles now and haven't noticed any problems due to rubbing.

Forgot to add that they rub b/c they're on stock wheels. Aftermarket wheels or spacers can easily fix the rubbing problem.

Toyo Open Country MT's have this size tire.

My Toyo Open Country ATs are that same size, and on my BigHorn 4x4 there is NO rubbing - neither while driving on or off-road nor while towing heavy... You will have to adjust the speedo (of course)...
