Default Tire size...did I make a mistake?

I just bought my Jeep Sahara a few months ago and love it and this forum made me want to spend money on it I have just ordered 16" wheels with 295/75r16 hankook tires. Are these going to fit without rubbing until I get my BB? Should I change to 285? I did search and found some that say yes and some that say no. Anyone running this size without a lift? Thanks for the help.

I wouldn't worry about it if you are planning on a BB. My understanding is there will be slight rubbing but when your in articulation.

If you get the RC BB with 2.2 shocks, they have bumpstops so you wont have to worry too much about rubbing...

That is the BB I am going to get...it was just going to come much faster if I had major rubbing issues with the bigger tires. Thanks for the input!
