My tires stick out about the same, running 275 50 nittos. I put about 3 "rubber Helpers" inbetween the springs and leave it in firm on the electric suspension setting. Doesn't rub a bit... The 28x10 american racer dirt tires I had on would rub pretty hard on a good launch (1.65 60') at the track but they were 14" wide. These tires fit really well? Other than the roller skate look. Would you be interested in selling your BFG's?

Thanks alot sorry to so long to repy!
