I've been waiting for my 2nd metz to wear out and have a Goodyear Eagle F1 245/50 ZR16 GS-D3 92Y (1389lbs load rating @ 186mph) waiting in the wings. I understand that is about the limit of what will clear. If it rubs at all I'll be sure to post a warning. With the weather like it is ... probably won't see it mounted until late next summer. The 1st one only lasted 8,000 miles, don't expect more than 10,000 out of this one.
I have that Rivco chrome drive shaft cover, that may have to come off. We will see.
