A 265/70R17 works real well on the stock 17" wheel with a front 2" lift. No issues at all and plenty of clearance.

I initially was going to do a 265/70/17 but it still seems to have mixed reviews because I really don’t want to spend 800 for tires and have to remove the crash bars. I think I’m going with the 255/70/17 since that adds an extra inch and Keeps the same width as stock and I’m going to add a +25 wheel so should be safe with no trimming . I don’t think you’ll be able to tell the difference between a 255/70/17 vs 265/70/17. If anyone has any experience with this let me know please.

I thought the same but went with the 265/70/17 last week and have 250 miles on it already and NO ISSUES or rubbing at all...no changes needed...it works and looks great. I went with the Hankook Dynapro AT2 and they have a rebate and they are ride better than the stock tires.

I'm looking at 265/70/17 an 255/75/17. There don't seem to be an many choices I like in 255/75.

If I was keeping the stock sport wheels I would go with the 265/70 but since I’m going with the “ranger spec” icon six speed at +25 I have a hard time believing they will fit based off what everyone has said. Just seems like a lot of variables plus you have a lift and im not sure if I will do a lift or not at this point.

They have the falken at3w and the toyo at3’s in the 265/70/17 I was torn between the two. I’m going with the toyos.

I don't know if you said you were going go with a lift up front or not. If you are, there is not one person that I know of on this forum that has had any issues with a +25 offset and a 265/70R17 tire size. I researched it hard because that is initially what I was looking to do. If you aren't lifting the vehicle, then I can understand your concern.

A guy I work with went with Nitto's when he put 35"s under his Tundra an he's really happy with them. I want to keep additional weight to a minimum an avoid adding a bunch of road noise. Seems like Falken's are priced well but a little heavier than others. I'm probably gonna wait another 15K or so before changing mine but I like the Nitto's an Generals for tread looks.

You know anyone specific? They didn’t have to remove any crash bars?

Is that a 2 inch lift?

It's set a 2" out of the box and I left it there. It can go as high as 3 1/2 but I was happy with 2"

Did you have the lift on prior to the wheels and tires? Or all in one shot?

The lift was on for a week with Sport wheels until the tires came in, then switched out. Zero rubbing either way. Pic 1 is stock. #2 with lift before new wheels & tires. # 3 completed project
