    I had no issues. Costco refused to do it. Walmart didn’t blink. Firestone only asks are you sure this works.

    I did it and it seems like my Speedo is more accurate now than it was when I had stock size.

    The only other issue is some auto glass places have trouble calibrating the camera and they love to cite the change in tire size as the cause. Just something to be aware of (and this is from someone who made the switch to 265/70R17's from 265/65/16's).

    I think the speedos are calibrated a tad on the fast side at the factory so bigger tires even it out

    dd light bars, trd cat back exhaust, KDMax tuned, trd skid plate, 2" lift, sema wheels toyo open country at3 tires.
    I have a sport with 265/70/17's, they rubbed on front liners/flaps, while turning and backing uphill, or down a hill, ever so slightly but, they rubbed, you could hear it/feel it. I ended up wanting a lift so I added a 2" lift, and had it aligned with more caster.

    if you rub, go to the alignment shop, ask for the most caster you can get, while keeping camber and toe in specs. make sure they understand what you are trying to accomplish, and they dont give you less caster, and make it rub for sure. Ski
