you'll for sure what your tbars cranked and it depends on how much backspacing there is on the rims and how wide of tire you get

but i do believe they'll rub

I'm running 315/75 r16 on an 03 screw, cranked t-bars, wheels have 4.5" backspace, I have no rub, but had to trim about 2" off the lower portion of the plastic air dam.

they are pretty much right under your feet in the driver and passengers sets

just jack the front end up and go under there and its a arm that comes back from the a-arms
at the back of them there is a bolt that you tighten or loosen

if you want to go up with the front tighten it and if you want to go lower loosen it
