I am putting a set of 16R20 XZLs on HEMTT wheels. I was wondering if there are any rubbing issues on the front when turning. Any first hand experience would be great.

Under compression, at full turn, the knuckles on the outer edge of the tire will rub the "c" shaped bracket on the rear part of the frame section. Remove the bracket and you remove the rub.
FWIW, only the passenger side rubbed on mine.

hemet rims need no work and they won't hit anything. 5 ton combat wheels will hit the steering gear box and hyd cylinder on pass side. you can adjust the stops to fix this though.

No rub with mine. I was actually thinking about changing the steering stops to get a little MORE steering out of mine...
