    Anyone running this tire size(255/70/17)? Im debating these or the 265/70/17. I have billies and bachs in the front and 1.5 leafs in the back. Was wondering if the 255/70/17 would rub. Thanks for any info in advance.

    255/70/17 is almost 1" smaller in height than 265/70/17 and about 1/2" narrower

    They won't rub

    Are you sure you don't mean 255/75/17 ?

    Mine don't rub with just Billies set at 1.75. I had to remove the small flap at the front of the front fender well. My mudflaps were already off so I can't tell you if they would have rubbed them or not.

    They won't rub , they are essentially the same height as 265/70/17 but narrower

    Assuming you are on stock wheels
