BFG T/A KO fitment on stock suspension?

[84ability]

Does anybody know or have experience mounting 265/70/17 BFG T/A KO's on stock suspension? I'm worried about rubbing with the more aggressive tread and slightly larger (3.6%) diameter. This is for an '06 Limited, stock tires are 265/60/18. Also curious what the impact to MPG might be too. Looking to replace my stock 18's with ATX Mojave's and BFG's. Thanks for any help.

They will rub. I have 265/70/17 with a budget 2 inch lift from daystar and they still rub slightly. But I also haven't taken my mud flaps off. MPG is slightly affected. What I notice more is the road noise. Much louder than stock.

I originally saw a 2-3mpg hit when I went from stock size Nitto Terra Grapplers to the 265/70 BFG's. Now that I've messed around with tire pressures a bit I've found that 42psi is where they are most happy. Before when I was running 37psi my mileage was in the 14-15mpg range. My last tank of mixed driving was 18.5mpg. That's with steel bumper, full armor, 2.5-3" lift and large cargo box on the roof.

When I had my oem bumper and stock suspension I had to do a bunch of trimming and push the fender liners forward. Also had to trim the front mud flaps a lot.

That's gonna be a nice look, the Mojaves and KOs. BMeister said he's rubbing but he has Spidertrax as well.

My 2WD has the BFG KO 265/70/17 with 0.85" lift in the front and 0.4" spacers in the back and does not rub at all. I would think you could pull it off at stock.

It will really depend on the offset, back spacing and width of the wheels.

I rub on my stock suspension mounted on stock wheels. Even when I had the front lifted a little over 2in and it still rub.

I put the BFG 265/70/17's on mine:

Stock: No rubbing
Added Spidertrax: Bad rubbing!
Added Front Daystar Budget Boost: Still Bad Rubbing!
Moved Front Fender Liner Forward: Slight Rubbing
Heat Gun Modified Mud Flaps: Only Rubs slightly when pulling into parking spots
