Where exactly on the truck does it rub?

I got mine through Tire Rack. They are Pirelli Scorpion P-Zero Assimetrico's. Im pretty sure the tire is rotational though. You can still rotate them, but just from the front to the back.

It runs in the front. When I hit a dip in the road on the freeway, they will rub. The edge of the tires rub on the metal fender lining. Nothing major with no damage to the tire, at least not yet.

The 285/35's I previously had were 28.88" vs. the 305/35's 30.5". The 285's rubbed as well, just not as bad.

Is this the inside edge or the outside edge? (I'm assuming outside edge, from the size input to my calculations) I'm very curious about this because the dimensions of your rear tire are damn near spot on to the ones I will be mounting, but its orientation in the fender well is slightly different than what mine will be. (at least in the rear, anyway) Thanks

flipper - I think I will be ordering the Boze Stinger 6. The size is definite, though: front 20x8.5, 6"backspace - rear 20x10, 7" backspace
