Quick question

I just recently installed new tires, knowing they would be "too big" but I loved the look too much to pass them up. They are nitto trail grapplers 295/70r18. For the most part after a good fender trimming I don't get too much rubbing unless I'm making sharp turns. My only question is are there going to be any major off roading limitations to these tires? I haven't experienced rubbing when I am not turning, I'm hoping this should translate when going off road and shouldn't run into many problems. Any personal experience with larger tires? Ps running a 3 inch front 2 inch rear lift.
Thanks in advance, Patrick

If I understand what you are asking, I think the answer is no, you're probably going to rub even worse if you actually take it off road and get the suspension flexed out. If you have minor rubbing now at full lock with the wheel at normal ride height, just imagine how much worse it's going to be when your tire is stuffed all the way up in the wheel well while trying to turn at full lock :)
 
You're going to have problems with the rear body mount, at the least. Lift doesn't help tire fitment much for off road use, unless you lower the bump stops.

I would get a jack and/or stands under one LCA, with the other tires on the ground, and turn wheel lock to lock and check for interference.
