Welcome to the forum Steve, unless your wheel offset is spot on you are going to have trouble with 235's on the rear
I started with nothing and still have most of it left.

Gee, revived a pretty old thread Steve. I run 235/60 13” and also 235/60 14” un-tubbed but lips rolled. Occasional rubbing but doesn’t bother me unless loaded up on a trip away and even then not much.

One thing I’ve noticed on most FB EK is the wheel wells offset 1/4-1/2” left of the chassis, suspension and rear wheels. So the outside is more inclined to rub on the right side, and the inside on the left, if I’ve got that right, and if it makes sense.
