toyos and upper control arm

Lookin at a set of 35x12.5x20 toyo mt's for my truck. I have oem 20's and was wondering if their side lug will rub the upper control arm to where its not driveable?

I had 325/60/20 (35x12.5x20) BFG ATs on factory 20s before my KM2s and they only rubbed at full lock. With the more aggressive side wall of the Toyo's I would think they will rub a little sooner. It doesn't kill driveabiltity just takes some getting use to, especially in parking lots and tight cornering situations.

yeah my tires i have now rub at full lock but thats fine with me and i dont mind trimming either. I am just worried about toyos aggressive side lug and it rubbing the upper control arms at all times.

I dont do offroading for fun but when it comes to putting in my duck boat i can get in some sticky situations, do you think they would stay off the upper control arm? Also could you email me a couple pics of your truck with those tires? Ive always loved your truck with the 18s and 35s but havnt got to see it with your new tires and wheels. blake9028@yahoo.com

thanks
