We used AM 4" performance (with rough top). There's noticeable tread wear on the outer wheels as compared to the center wheels as well from the excessive dragging.

Side note: The Andy Mark CAD for the wheels shows less material around the center than the actual wheel has. Not a huge problem, but it did cause some surprises when we got our hands on the wheels.
