Yes but will rub at full flex how much depends on your BS. I run(285/70/17) 5.75" with no rubbing but its because the BS allows the tire to tuck into the fenders. When you start running less BS 4.5 or 4 it will rub with no lift at full flex. Then if you don't want to lift it you will need to add bump stops or pick up a set of stock flares and cut them to allow for the flex.

IMO I like a 15" rim for trail tires allows for a great pattern when aired down.

Great advice Wings fan! I have the 15" wheel and have been extremely impressed with the grip and pattern. I plan on cutting my fenders when the weather starts to warm up. That will solve some rubbing issues with my backspace. There are so many factors that go into wheels/tires/rubbing.

I was thinking of 15" as well, but ended up getting 16". Still alot of good rubber, and it seemed like there might have been a better selection of wheels out there without worrying about the calipers rubbing.
