anybody have duratrac's on their stock truck?

hate to be the guy to start another tire thread but...

after surfing here a while it seems to be common knowledge that 265/70/17 is the largest tire that will fit on a stock truck.

I've got a 09 DC 4WD Sport and I had the local tire shop order me up a sec of the Goodyear Duratrac in 265/70/17. I dropped the truck off and they called me up in like a 1/2 hr saying that they wouldn't fit. They mounted just one to make sure and bolted it on the front and it was rubbing.

So I'm thinking its the same 265 width that's on the truck now (265/65/17) and its just a 13mm increase in radius. Why wouldn't it fit?
Does the sidewall of the duratrac baloon out more, or do those meaty cleats on the sidewall stick out that much?

So I'm wondering, are they full of it, did the guy accidentaly mount a 285, or will that tire size fit, but just not in a duratrac?

Anybody out there got duratrac's on your truck with stock wheels & stock suspension?

 

you could look through here for pics of people with stock suspension and duratracs

get Cooper Discoverer ATR's

 

I ran 265/75/16s on my stock suspension for about 2 weeks before I got lifted and they rubbed like a biotch. I was also running aftermarket rims though with less bs so that might have contributed to it.

 

265/75/16s fit on stock wheels with stock suspension without rubbing. I have them now.

 

Just pull the front mudflaps off. This should do the trick. Minor trimming of the fenderflare in front of the front tire may be necessary.

 

I will be having 265/70/17 Duratracs installed on my 2010 DC TRD Sport this morning, I'll let you know how it goes, I hope no issues !!

 

Please post the pics after the install!!

 

I think I read on here that the Duratracs runs a smidge larger than 'standard.' Lots of meat in the tread or something like that.

 

Hey Three West, I'm not trying to hijack your thread but I will be posting pics in my original thread about the my Taco's Christmas gift of new shoes and socks http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/2nd-gen-tacomas/128482-sssssssssh-can-you-keep-secret.html
If you want to see a stock (rear spring TSB done) Duratrac set up come take a look, pics should be up later today.

 

Running 265/75/16 no rubbing at all

 

Mine also fit fine. Offer to take your business elsewhere. I bet they change their tune real quick.

 

I am running 265/75/16 on my DC TRD OR and they do not rub, but I removed my mud flaps before install.

I currently have 265/70/17 Duratrac's on my 08 AC and I do not rub at all. I have pictures in my profile if you're interested in checking it out.

I don't have any type of lift or anything and no problems at all.

 

when i had mine installed, they questioned if they would fit.

I said put them on.

The whole shop was impressed when she came rolling out.

 

no problems with my 265/75/16's

 

thanks everybody

so far seems there's 2 guys with stock suspension & stock wheels that are running these in 17" on a sport, so I need to make a trip back to the tire shop and ask some more questions...

 

I'm a stocker running 265/75/16 Duratracs. Check my sig below for pic. No rubbing issues at all, granted I removed all mud flaps.

 

I did the same and ran them like that for about 6 months before a lift. Removing or trimming the mudflaps is key.

 

My 265/75/16's rubbed on the front mud flaps so I just removed them. On seldom occasions I think I'm getting a slight rub or something elsewhere but it hasn't really concerned me. I have aftermarket wheels though.
