Default 265/75/16 on stock suspension

I have searched for quite awhile and could not find a definite yes/no answer. It's time for new tires. I want to put new 265/75/16 BF Mud Terrains on now and upgrade to an OME lift later, as money allows. I am reading mixed reports of bumper rubbing or no rubbing at all. Has anyone personally tried this and does it work? Thanks

I have a truck with those exact tires, but with an ARB front bumper.

No rubbing even when cranking the wheel hard for a u turn. The stock bumper might cause rubbing in the front.

I had my tires on before I installed my OME lift. I didn't have any rubbing.

abran, where did you run your wiring for your work light?

Up under A pillar trim, then along the rack to the back.

Great, thanks. I was planning on doing shocks, springs, and tires all at once, however, I think I'm going to need the new tires before I get enough saved for the OME lift. Thanks for your input, and yes, pics always help.

Update- Now that I am acutely aware of steering stops, I looked under the car and it seems to have the longer steering stops on it. Thats just a visual without measuring. I'll confirm later.
