Default off road with 265/75/r16s ??????

Is anyone off roading with 265/75/r16's with wheels that have 4.5" backspacing or less without any lifts BB or leveling kits.? If so any type of rubbing issues? Is it a minor rub, or is it a problem? What kind of off roading are we talking about climbing rocks, or your basic mud trails? thanks for the help.

My buddy has a 2009 unlimited with a 4.5 backspacing on 285s with no lift and he doesn't rub. We went leaking the other day and he had a little rub when fully flexed other than that it did good

In Germany a lot, some people go with 265/70/17 and stock wheels without problems.
But like always it also depend on hwo hard you wheel and which tires you have.
