Any issues on rubbing? I'm looking for some maximum spec to my caddy on stock suspension.

205/70 R15 is another option if you want to run big tyres and keep the 15" wheels. I'm running General Grabber AT3 205/70 R15 on mine (on stock VW 15" alloys) with no issues. Slight rubbing on arch liner on full lock in reverse, sorted with a heat gun.

Which model do you have?? I'm thinking on that with Yokohama Geolandar, I have a 4Motion from 2014
