Absolutely no rubbing, but I have a 4" lift... With a levelling kit you could fit 35's and not rub. I dont have a pic up close, but you can see the stance here:

I have a 2009 Ram Sport and have BFG All Terrain K/O's in the 285/55/r20s. they look good and i have not had any issues with them.

i am thinking about taking my 305/55R20's and getting one "test mounted" just to see if it will clear everything.. i understand there will probably be some rubbing at full, or near full, turn but i rarely crank the wheels that far anyway so i'm not really worried about that.. i'm worried it will rub on the upper a arm as soon as it's bolted up.. i will get a picture of where i am talking about and post it..
there is only 1/2" space there. has no one had issues with the wider tire rubbing here?

i have aftermarket knuckles so my a-arm connects above the tire, but it is very close to the knuckle... worst comes to worst get some 1/4" spacers for the front

Found a cool calculator for tire size. http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html

Interesting thing is it gives you the change in speed from what your spedo should read to what it will actually read when you increase the tire size.
