A possibility of rubbing on a bolt. Some people are grinding the bolt head down, some are installing spacers and on some it fits fine.

I think you'll be fine. Why don't you get the RII instead of the DR? I think they make that size now.

How do you like them? How's traction compared to the stock tires?

the nitto's are great. but the profile of the nitto's are more rounded than the bfg's i think. but the are a whole lot better than the f1's. still hops under heavy acceleration but it's not as bad.

I just had mine installed sunday and so far seem pretty nice. I haven't notice any rubbing or anything of the sort. They seem to be pretty grippy, but should get better with time. What seidler said they feel kind of drifty in corners due to the sidewalls being soft. Overall I would recommend them.
