Got 225/75/16 BFG AT2 on my 16". With original springs it rubbed on front arch corners. A 30mm spacer lift kit sorted rubbing until Andreas springs went on and spaces came off.
A lighter doka may fair better with OE springs.

That is good advice.

Thanks chaps, haven't decided if I want to lift the 16" or not. It is an off road play thing after all and not likely to go long distances on road.
