A quick question I think. I have searched the forum and have read through the tire fitment guide as well as the two threads linked below but still haven't found the answer.
What is the minimum amount of lift I need to run 255/80/17's (Cooper ST Maxx) MOSTLY without rubbing issues?
Would a set of Bilstein's at 0.85 or some other setting work? I wouldn't mind perhaps a slight rub when maybe I was at full stuff and full steering lock but I DON'T want rubbing issues driving around town and pulling into a parking space. I'd like some additional ground clearance and wouldn't mind a small lift, but I'm not ready to go 3-inches up.
I'll be using the vehicle off-road mostly on trails in southern Colorado (think Alpine Loop) and other 'over landing' type trails; NOT heavy duty rock hopping.

Here's a very applicable quote from the above thread, but still doesn't answer my question:

Can you report on any rubbing issues you have?
If they work with the TRD 17" rims, they should work with stock rims, no?
I have slight rubbing at full lock turning left and in reverse, nothing major. I drive normally and take wider turns and have no rubbing. Im sure with some minor trimming you won't have any issues. Keep in mind I've yet to go off road with this setup, more than likely you'll get more rubbing. Nothing some front spacers and minor trimming couldn't fix I reckon. It will be a mystery as to what is getting rubbed at full lock because I don't care to fix the issue until after I lift her up.
The TRD wheels and stock wheels have different offsets and are different size so I can not give you info about stock wheels.
