265/65/17 or 265/70/17

would there be any rubbing issues with the 265/70/17 tires?
2008 DCSB all stock.

 

Nope , not if they are on stock wheels

 

hate to dig up old threads,but i'm considering going from a 265-65-17 to a 70 series in the same size.my wheels are procomp 7105 extreme alloys(0 offset,4.5 bs)i'd love to use this size as i'm getting ready to install my "baja rack"on my 10"dc prerunner,shortbed.i think the rack would "overpower" the look of the truck with the 265-65-17's,but i will not be adding any type of lift.i've looked at a few tire selections and have a few in mind,i have bushwacker poclet style flares with no mudflaps.any one with concrete info on fit and rub with this set-up?

 

I ended up buying Hankook Dynapro ATMs in 265/65/17. The 265/70 were on back order and I couldn't wait any longer. In hind-site, I wish I would have bought the 265/70.

 

It all boils down to about 1 inch...

265/65-17
d=30.56
w=6.78

265/70-17
d=31.61
w=7.30

You'll only lift the truck 3/8" though

 

Correct, just over an inch in the whole diameter of the tire, so your "lift" would be negligible 1/4 to 3/8 at best...

265/65 = 2073 rotations in a mile
265/70 = 2004 rotations in a mile

172.5 feet less on the 265/70's

 

no other info required. 265/70 all the way

 

would there be any speedometer issues with going to a larger tire?

265/70

 

255/75/17 32.2" tire and I believe weighs in at 38 lbs. I think it's a great size.

 

265/75/16
