I'm planning on putting 265/70/R16's on my 03 pathy, which translates into basically a 31x10.5x16. and i want to know if they'll woek with the factory suspension and ride hight, and wont rub on anything. I like to go wheelin and plan on lifting it in the spring, but for now i need tires and want to get the bigger ones now, so does anyone know if they'll rub when im off roadin or cause any problems?

they should fit relatively easily with some trimming. I had even bigger, 265/75/16 on stock suspension but that was with a lot of trimming, removal of mud flaps, and bashing in metal parts with a sledgehammer.

But also remember this was with aftermarket wheels 1" wider than stock. Backspacing and offset will also affect where it rubs.

Short answer to your question - yes it can be done fairly easily with minor work.
