Anyone running 275/70r16 on stock 3rd gen?

Just found these in a D load for BFG KO2. I've been reading and searching for tires for over a month and wondered if anyone is running this size? I could not locate anything using the search either.

I want to keep the factory 16" off road wheels and don't want to change out to 17's for a C load tire. Eventually, I'm doing Bilstein 5100 and OME 885 coils with 1.5 AAL in the rear, but in the meantime, I was wondering if anyone is running this size.

 

Did you end up going with them?

 

No, still can't figure out what to do.

 

So it sounds like you are going to level the truck eventually? The 275/70r16's seem to be the best ko2 size when staying with the stock 16's, stock suspension or a 1" front lift/level. They are lighter, less ply - should ride better, won't have any rubbing issues,and are more in line with the factory tires pressure wise than the alternative upsize of 265/75. They add ¼" ride height to the stock size 265/70 ko2's, with all the benefits of above. When I upgrade, I think I'm going with 275/70. I'm quite surprised no one seems to be going with these? I'm really interested in why. If you do decide to, let me know what you think. I really wish BfGoodrich would make the 265/70 or 265/75 in C load.

 

I just put on 275/70/17s and I don't get any rubbing at stock height unless I am at full lock in reverse going left. The only place it is rubbing is on the upper control arm and it's just barely grabbing. I know when wheel it may be worse. Surprisingly pulling out of my driveway it does not rub while going over the drainage curb. Pretty sure if I went with an aftermarket rim as opposed to stock it would alleviate the problem. I do plan on lifting so it's a short term minor problem. I know it's not the exact same tire size you are looking for but I would venture to guess the 16 would result in similar fashion.
