OFFICIAL - 3rd GEN 275/70r17 Tire Thread

You probably have already answered this, but what did you end up with for lift front and rear?

Thanks.

 

So for all you that opted for 275's. Do any of you wish you went with 285's instead?

 

Do you get a lot of rubbing?

 

Only on the front mudguards so I removed all of them...

 

What did a stage 1 run you parts and labor? $2500?

 

Just had my 275/70/r17 BFG KO2's installed on my '16 TRD Sport 4x4. I upgraded size from the 265/70/r17 C-rated KO2's that I put 5k miles on. I honestly can't feel any difference in acceleration with the heaver E rated 275's. I notice it is a little bit stiffer while going through rough intersections or bumps but not bad at all. I also have ZERO rubbing at full lock on my stock suspension. Stoked. Lift goes on Thursday.

 

I am looking to do a 275/70/17 and want to do a small lift. My plan is to do a leveling kit from low range offroad and move to a true lift some time after that. I see a lot of ppl saying 275's will fit and a lot saying that they will rub. Would they fit better with a 2in lift? I am looking for zero rubbing.

 

I have a full OME 2" lift with 275/70/17. Have method NV wheels and LR UCA's. As long as you get the alignment figured out you will be golden. I had to add some caster but have absolute 0 rubbing on full lock and under the mild compression that I have done offroad.

 

Are the UCA needed? And what was the result of your alignment?

 

I think there are different factors like what wheels you have due to the offset and backspacing. With mine, I did need new UCA's to get the proper alignment. I do not have the paper that shows what the alignment numbers but I do know that it is within factory spec.

 

Doing what every one does with the SEMA TRD wheels lol I know they are 17x7

 

Notice any MPG drop from switching tires?

 

I've only got 75 miles on them so far, mixed highway and city I'm at 16.5mpg. I was only getting between 17-18 prior to that. I do expect a slight drop in MPGs, comes with the bigger tire and lift.

 

Can I see a close up of your ski rack? Also I know you posted it already but what is the lift kit and wheel size? I'm thinking about getting OME put on here at Slee in Golden Colorado.

 

I want the wheels how much?!

 

Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't remember seeing anyone here with pics of a stock Sport wheels with 275s. I'm about to pull the trigger on 275/70s on stock wheels. Taking my chances as I've seen mixed responses about no rubbing with and without a lift. I'm going to be stock for a while and want to upgrade my tires but would like a slightly larger tire.

Anyone suggest wheel spacers for the stocks? Or would that increase chance of rubbing?

 

This is exactly why I'm here. I was looking to throw some new tires onto the sport wheels, just because I'm not really fond of the aftermarket selection, but no one seems to have done it.

 

You will rub on stock height. 265/70/17 will clear...

 

If you're staying stock height you should go 265/70/17. They look great on stock height and you'll save some gas mileage sticking with the c-rated tire. My 275's rubbed on my inner fender even with a 2 inch lift while my wheels were turned and suspension was compressed. Was able to trim out the plastic with an x-acto knife.
