Run mine all the time. Just have to be careful around turns with the skinnies up front. I run Kumho 165/80/15s on the front and BFG DR 275/50/15s in the rear on a 5.5" BS wheel.

Yup. But, if you run something like a 275, be prepared to "massage" the inner fender. I also had to run a 1/4" spacer and remove my quads.

Like I said, no problems yet. They've literally been on the car like 30,000 miles or so. I've put 15k on them myself.
