I have 285 40 17s BFGS on the back with stock 245 BFGs in the front.My bubby has 315 35 17s Nitto drag radials out back and stock 245s in front.His do not rub but I do not think they look much wider than mine.I don't think Nittos are as wide as BFGs size to size.I think a 315 BFG would be wider than a 315 Nitto but I may be wrong.A different brand tire may cause rubbing problems not sure.My 285s are on a 81/2'' rim and I believe his 315s are on an 11'' rim.
