Default Another Tire question -215/75/R15 BFG A/T

Hey guys, new member here. Had a few Hondas in the past (94 Prelude SI and 91 civic) and loved them. But the past few years I've been a Ford Truck guy(94 F350 SD PS and 99 F250 SD), found out the wife and I are having our first child so I sold the truck and bought a more family friendly vehicle - 01 CRV. I gotta say, I wish I would have picked up a CRV a loooong time ago, they are kickass!

Anyways, my question is concerning tires. My CRV is currently sitting on 205/70/r15 tires. I'm in need of new tires and want to go with 215/75/r15 BFG A/Ts. Now I know they will fit from a little reading online BUT are they my best option? I live in WI and really want and can benefit from A/T tires so my options are limited. I could go with Yokohama Geolanders in stock size but Im a big fan of the BFGs from previous experience on my trucks. I know they probably wont rub but will they rub in the rear when I pull my boat? I have a small 14ft john boat that I will be pulling occasionally and I'm not sure how much the rear will squat. The CRV has 170k on it so I'm sure the suspension has settled a little over time too. Lifting it really isn't something I want to do, plus I doubt the wife will like that idea.

If I went with the BFGs in 215/75/r15 will I rub or encounter any issues? or should I stick with the Yokohamas in stock size?

Thanks in advanced!

General Tires offers the Grabber A/T in a 205/75/15. would be perfect for a crv if you wanted All Terrain performance at stock height. i have Grabbers on my cr-v and live here in Nebraska. they handle the snow very well.

I went with 205/75R15 General Grabber AT 2. Should have them on tomorrow, just in time before the snow starts to fly here in Wisconsin.

Thanks for the help!
