    I'm currently running 265/70/17 on a stock suspension, plenty of clearance lock to lock. I've got a modest lift I'll be installing soon that should net me ~ 1.5" up front and an inch in the rear. My tires are almost at the end of their life and wanted to see if 275/70/17's are an option.

    265/70/17- 31.6" current tire
    275/70/17- 32.2"

    0.6" taller tire

    Thanks in advance.

    ^ Thanks; was that with stock rims or a different offset aftermarket rim?

    My other (safer) option is 255/75's- very close to the same height, little narrower and less chance of rubbing

    The 275/70 I can get in an E rating, 255 is only offered in C, so would prefer 275's if feasible
