    Has anyone run this tire size? Is any trimming required?

    I run them on stock 17's with no lift and get very minimal rubbing at full rack backing up. I have the BFG AT KO's, love them! I hear the Goodyears are pretty sweet too! Good luck!

    depends on how hard you drive the truck.

    if your wheeling hard you will rip of your front mud flaps a couple times and there will be minimal rubbing of the frame that is perfectly OK.

    at least I did with 265/70/17's on stock sport alloys

    I hardly go off-roading. It's all just for looks. I would get a highway tire in that size if they had one.

    They offer these tires in the 275/70R17 and they are less aggressive than the BGF AT and Cooper ST. Just a few options.

    I forgot to mention, I'm running Spidertraxx spacers. Will it make a difference?

    The main difference is you will definitely rub

    Hey OZ,

    What about the 255/80R17? Those are a little more narrow, but it appears they vary in height (31.0"-33.3") depending upon the manufacturer? I would be curious how these would fit on stock suspension, most likely with trimming. Just curious.
