    Im about to pull the trigger on some new tires because a guy at work wants to buy my current rims/tires. I have a 2010 DBL 4x4. It came with the stock 265/65/17. I was gonna do the lift + tires at the same time, but money has been tight.

    My question:

    If I put 265/70/17 on my stock 4x4 suspension, how much ( if any ) rubbing will occur? Im talking about regular driving. Im waiting until I slap some better suspension on before doing any off roading.

    I sure hope so, I just got a sweet deal on some 17" TRD allows off a 2011 and I need to start shopping for tires to put them on my 2012 RC,

    If I can get away with a 265/70/R17 that would be awesome, as the pricing seems to be better for sure,

    I was afraid even though the stock wheels are narrower than after mraket wheels that the clearance to the UCA would be the limit...

    key word is "shouldn't"

    notice no one says it will not rub

    they could, but it will be insignificant
