Sorry I didn't respond quicker...I just saw this reply...to answer your question - I have not purchased these tires yet but I know that my '06 doesn't have the 2" knob that the later models '08 and above do and I was planning on running 2.5" rhino rods full-time so just the normal rubbing in reverse is expected - maybe some full compression rubbing off road so might modify the inner fender linings (or just let them rub) and I'll have to relocate the wire loom on the drivers side...other than that I think the rubbing will be minimal for day to day use.
Not sure what I'm going to do about the spare tire though...probably just get a roof rack and mount it up top or a tire carrier...as from what I understand there is really no way to mount it on the bottom...
I'll post pics once I get it all hooked up if that's the route I end up going...
Do what you want but the rods full time is a bad idea. Actually it's just plain dumb.
Do the mods you mentioned and they become completely a waste of $.
