    Sorry if I missed this in another post. I've looked with no success.

    On my 2012 with 17" factory wheels, I'm putting Bilstein 5100s on the front set at the 1.75" adjustment. I already have 5160s on the rear. Can I get a larger tire than the 265/70/17 that is the max for a stock suspension without rubbing or having to trim?

    Thanks for your patience with another tire-size/can-I question. :rolleyes:

    I have 265/75/16 on 16x8.5 on 5100s at 1.75 which is the same diameter as you: 31.6", so this should help you
    I had tires on with no 5100s and they rubbed on the front mudflaps. I removed those and no rubbing.....except. When turned and hitting a slight bump, like turning into my driveway, it would rub. After 5100s @1.75...there is no rubbing even when hitting a bump while turned

    Wheel offset will also impact possible rubbing. I think you will be OK with the 5100s @1.75. But from what I researched anything bigger, everyone says there are rubbing issues that will require trimming.
