Will a 265/70/r17 rub stock?

Hi Guys,

I've looked around a lot at the BFG T/A KO tire.

I'm about to order them and want to be sure that a 265/70/r17 tire won't rub on a stock Pre-Runner.

I have my mudflaps removed.

Thank you

I just want more confirmation before I spend almost 1K.

 

all trucks are different, but the vast majority of trucks running 265/75r16 and 265/70r17 tires do not rub

 

It seems like almost everything I've seen says that 265/70/r17 won't rub. But then I see that one post that says they do rub on his truck. I think that any rubbing issues on that size are on the front mud flaps.

Should not rub with stock wheels

 

I know someone with no flaps, 265/70/17 and rubs. They have aftermarket wheels. I think if you run stock wheels or aftermarket with similar back spacing you should be fine. Fwiw, I ran 265/70/17 on stock sport wheels with no rub (BFG TA KO)

 

Bingo

 

I have stock rims and BFG AT 265\70\r17's and mine don't rub.

 

I have aftermarket wheels and 265/70/17 tires. I rub a little on the front bumper flap when turning.

here's a pic

 

That's stock height?? Looks lifted.

 

That goofy flap is only on the 2012-13's

 

Ah, didn't even bother to look what year op's tacoma was. Thanks!

 

I ran ProComp 7089's with 4.5" backspacing on 265/70/17 Duratracs and only rubbed where the mud flap stuck out a bit...

 

Yeah, I rubbed on that flap also. Two quick bolts and they were gone. No more rubbing.

 

Most of the instances of rubbing I've heard of with 265/70/17s at stock height are with 9" wheels and 4.5" of BS, because those wheels stick out ~3" more than stock.

 

I have that exact tire. I had a leeeetle tiny itty bitty bit of rubbing when they were brand new. I had to be a full lock and fully stuffed, but there it was. They don't rub anymore now that I have about 5k miles on them.

I wouldn't expect that you'll have real trouble with that tire.

 

it is.....sorry, my bad...I thought you were lifted, on stock rims, not stock height...

 

Thought so. Yours looks just like mine, same wheels, same basic truck, similar lift, same cap. Nice lookin rig

 

I have same truck as you but mine is a short bed. My tires have no rubbing issues at all. But they are definitely heavier than my stock bridge stones that were on the truck prior.
