I run Brigestone 265/75/17 tires on the stock 6 spoke chrome limited wheels. To use this size tire I installed the Rocky Road 2.25" lift also and the 1.5" Spidertrax spacers for clearance. I have never had to modify the pinch weld or had any issues with rubbing. I did replace the stock rear coils springs with Superlift 4" lift coils that I got from Phunkeydude because of the weight that I carry in the rear of the Commander. It was not a tire clearance issue. It was the fact that I was compressing the springs on bumps because of the weight.
