okay say with 215/70R16 tires would there be any rubbing or clearance
issues?  also with these tires what would be approximately the tightest
clearance area.  from pictures i have seen it looks like the the clearance
gets tight between the tire and the front of the rear trailing arm as
wheel/tire size is altered from the stock configuration.  is this true and
are there any other areas where clearances become quite a bit tighter.
