No bfh, but if the tire is too wide, it could rub on the inner sidewall at the top. There's a nut and cotter pin there to watch out for. I'm running 275 35's up front. Be mindful that the wider the tire up front, the more the steering will be affected by the ruts in the roads.

I have'nt noticed any rubbing. I know with 295 35, it would rub on the plastic fender liner a little when turning.

Basically that's it. Someone just recently posted info on this and pics, but the search here is the shitz. Have'nt done it myself, it's mostly at the front of the lower wheelhouse and if you are lowered you might need to roll the quarter panel lip.
