    I have 265/70/17 Cooper STT Pros (10.7" section width and 31.9" height) and love them but have been considering other sizes now that I'm getting my 2" lift. I came across 305/65/17's which are quite appealing... I'd much rather have the width versus height and they come in at 32.7" in height and a hefty 12.3" section width.

    Anyone try this size before? I'm thinking that it might be a bit safer on the cab mount rubbing but might need to watch UCA rubbing.

    Also noticed that BFG KO2's (which I've been considering switching over to) come in this size and are a tad friendly on the sizing 12.2" section width and 32.6" height...

    What rims are you running? You will still most likely rub on the cab mount.

    2” lift with FN FX Pro 17x8 adding a 1.25” spacer soon. My Icon UCAs should also help a bit with pushing the caster out.

    Probably right though on the rubbing... but heck, maybe I’ll try anyway ? Haha
