So I now have those same wheels but with 275/70R17, and I have the rubbing on the rear intrusion beams. What did you ultimately end up doing to solve the problem? Can the beams be loosened and bumped back for clearance or did you scrap them/replace them all together?
You can unbolt them and slide them out...you'll first need to remove bottom fender screw and pull away a tiny bit to clear...don't forget to replace the bolts....

You could always just remove them... I did that. I run 285/75r17 tires and have no rubbing in the rear. Pulled the beams, the waffle boxes, and bolted the fender liner back so it doesn't interfere.

Or you can live dangerously...zero crash bars and I carry at least 3 unsecured scissors in the cab... ?

I think I will temporarily pull the beams. I've got BDS beams in-bound.

I made good use of my lunch break while working from home today. It involved...
  • One ham sandwich
  • Two Rice Krispy treats
  • One can PB Blaster
  • One 15mm wrench
  • One BFH (Big F'n Hammer)
And this will help my tire clearance issue until my BDS Intrusion Beams arrive. ?

Nice set up! I like the bronze wheels on white. Thanks for sharing.

No rubbing and lots of room so summer tires are going to be bigger.
