    Just thought I'd post this, since there's very little info on this tire size. I opted for these, since they are just a bit larger then stock, and are a few pounds lighter then the E rated 265/75R/16. They do not rub anywhere on this setup, and are about a 1/2" larger in both diameter and width then the stock BFG Rugged Trails. Road noise is about the same as the stock tires. Current tire pressure is 34 front and 31 rear which based on the chalk test I did is pretty close for full tread contact. I also picked up a matching spare, and it fits perfectly using the stock spare rim.

    Thanks so much for posting this shot. I will be in serious need of new tires soon and I've been contemplating 275/70 BFG's instead of 265/75. You're right, there aren't near as many pics but to me, the slight increase in height and width just seems to look better than the taller tire of stock width. I'll have them on stock TRD OR 16s with stock suspension at first so it's great to know they'll fit with no rubbing (you're stock suspension right? Is that a Baja or regular OR? )

    Truck looks great!

    That's zackly what I'm looking to do with my 13 DC OR. Adding a 2" leveling spacer to the front only. Looks like there's no need for wheel spacers, something that I wasn't sure about. Was even thinking about those same wheels in gold.

    Thanks for posting.
