I have the same tires on my 06 Grand, they rub a little on the back of the wheel well at almost full lock. I fixed that by softening the plastic with a torch and pushing the plastic back with a hammer. I also am using wheel spacers so I didn't have to trim the upper ball joint stud. I assume you will be lifting it if you want those tires. Here is a pic of mine:

They are pretty quiet for such an agressive tire. Expect to lose 2-3 mpg's though
