    Probably get some rubbing on full compression offroad but for street it should be ok.

    There's a whole thread in the 3rd gen forum about guys running 275 tires, check and see how those guys are doing it.

    I would if the Nittos came in that size, pretty pleased with the tire so far.

    Now that I've looked at that thread, looks like the BFG will rub on stock suspension

    BFG KO2 installed today on the TRD Pro SEMA 17s. Big difference in sound for sure, but tolerable. The ride actually seems a lot smoother and definitely sitting higher. Costco had no problem putting them on, but couldn't get the new TPMS to work - said their reader only went to 2013. Will head by Firestone tomorrow or even the dealer if I have to.

    It's almost dark, so no pics yet. But on the SR5 stock suspension, the front wheels don't have a lot of vertical clearance. Think I will have to go some type of lift on the front, even if it's just to level it. But without the fender flares, the new wheels look better than I thought.

    EDIT: Road balance was included with the Costco install and the shop guys were awesome. Told me to come by tomorrow to check torque on the lugs. Also told me to NOT use the steel wheel lugs, so I went and picked up 24 'flare' lugs from the dealer, which thankfully was in walking distance of Costco. $104 for the new lugs from the dealer.

    It was! Costco said 5-10 days for the tires and they showed up in 1 day. Same with the rims - arrived 3 days earlier than expected. Had the time, and the storms kept people away so the wait wasn't bad at all. Tires covered in some grease looking stuff though, but was told that washes off easily.

    All. If I don't want to remove the small mud guard up front, what tire size should I go to avoid any kind of rubbing?
