Craig ... I do, sort of. 1/ is on a Syncro Westy though. Identical numbers
to your example.
I've gotten very slight rub going into driveways with the wheels turned
pretty sharply, and
in turning/transition situations offroad. I lifted the van with different
shocks/springs so I
no longer get the rub. I'm "suspicious" you'll get some rubbing on the 2wd
with your #1
example. You probably know this but your #1 example is a diameter of 28.4".
