You will rub. Put about 3" long bump stops and it will help minimize the rubbing. IF you have fender flares you can get more room by cutting part of the flair out where the tire would rub, then taking a hamer to the inner lip of the fender and bed it up. This will give you alot more clearence and you wont chew into the side of the tires, it should just rub on the top. I have an 02 quad cab with the stock 16" wheels and rubber, it rubs but since ive done that, it is EXTREMLY minimzed the rubbing.

It's not just a bump on the splash guard that's the problem, you really got to fix that inner lip or it will slice right into your tires. The driver front is the most common one to rub, and you'll want to watch it.
