    These will clear the UCAs, but will result in more rub on fenders and cab mount etc. So, yes the will work, chopping will be required (likely, every setup is a bit different)

    Very minor rubbing if any with the 265's. with 285's you'll need a 2.5" minimum lift, and to do some trimming and chopping.

    Also, some 265's are not approved for 9" wide wheels.

    Lift has no effect on whether they fit... once compressed they still rub. I have that wheel with 285/70r17 and a uniball uca that adds 2 deg caster. That made me need to go 1 deg over spec on caster and do CMC.
