anyone run cooper discovery s/t

i am looking to run this tire on my factory 20's, i am concerned that it may rub the upper ball joint. just wondering if any has run this tire without rubbing. This tire is 12.61" wide and the stockers are around 11.3". I am going to install a bilstein 5100 shocks, do you think that would solve the problem?

My Bro In Law has them on his 250. Not a bad tire....

But not good in dirt and mud. Had to pull him out two weeks ago at the Landscape Center.

Not sure about the STs but i have the STTs and I love them. They are great, but I don't off-road any. I ordered mine from that site and had great customer service.

i have the zeons in 32x12 and they do a great job. Yesterday i had to drive down a mud/sand road and got into some stick spots. The tires gave great traction.

thanks for your comments guys. Don't think I will get the s/t as I think they will rub the ball joint. Going to go with the zeons, they were my 2nd choice.
