    Any suggestions for what slightly bigger size tire I should run with the Rough Country 2.5 inch lift in front and 1.5 inch rear with stock 16" wheels that won't rub? 265/75/16 or 275/70/16??? Help please!!!

    265/70/ 16 with 2.5" lift. No rubbing so far. I had some BFG All Terrains 265/75 16 and they did rub at full turn and entering my driveway which gave about half stuff. I forgot to write this in here. Sorry for confusion. My 265/70's don't rub! lol

    Can't tell much being it's not on level ground. I got 265/75/16 with about 1-1.5" I believe. Never rubbed.

    No, I wanted to run 265/75/16 instead of the stock 265/70/16 size. I think they are about 1 inch taller.

    Damn dude, I am digging your ride... but those tires look bigger than 265/75/16 and that lift looks like at least a 3 inch....I could be wrong but regardless it's a tough looking Yota!

    I had some BFG All Terrains 265/75 16 and they did rub at full turn while entering my driveway which gave about half stuff. It would be annoying when wheeling. Maybe I need more lift! :gossip: The Wrangler Dueler 265/75/16's did not rub. It was the lugs on the same size BFG's that did. I have a 2" lift. This is why I went to the smaller tires. YMMV

    Alright, I ordered the Falken Wildpeak A/T3W's in 265/75/16 running on the stock rims. They got really good reviews and I got a good deal on them. Hopefully no rubbing issues..I'll find out tomorrow when I go to get them installed. 55,000 mile warranty also.
