Search is not my friend. Eight pages in and I can't find the info I need, and Antman wants to spend time with his kids today so he won't talk to me on the phone. Pesky kids....

Anyway someone I work with is getting rid of a set of 5 lightly used 265 70 17 BFG KM2's. My truck is stock height but I have my Bilsteins set to level the front. Will these tires rub or will they fit ok?

Pretty much all stock size tires will fit with no rub unless you are running some bastard offset wheel. You should be fine. [MENTION=65614]Antman[/MENTION] is useless lol. Now you could use the Tire Fitment Guide in my signature lol.
 
Good to know! I'm using MB72 wheels. No problems with my Duratracs.

Now for the most important question white side or black side? I'm thinking white side this time...

Antman is useless. He should be banned just on principal.

What wheel offset? They look good.
 
Got the tires, got them installed. Pics to follow! Now what pressure is everyone using? 44psi or something closer to stock? These are stock size LT.

On my stock size LT (E) I am currently running 40 psi. I was running 44 after much research, but every little bump was annoying as hell. 44 is probably close to optimal on a stock size E rated tire - meaning it preforms the best under lots of weight, but for every day driving I found 40 to be a bit less of a pain in the ass...literally. FWIW I did Toyota care about 7k after getting my tires switched and my millage dropped like a rock. I'm talking 14 mpg with nothing, but a smaller antenna. Turns out the dealer set them all around 32 psi. At first I could not figure out what the issue was because the stiffer sidewalls make the tires look almost the same at 32 psi as they do at 44 (my old Subaru will look 1\2 flat 10 psi down). Finally I just took my pressure and found the issue. Mess around with pressures and find what you like - just realize that tire pressure is give and take like anything else and there is no "optimal" pressure because conditions are always changing.

A little late, but as requested...

Here are some pics of the tires installed. Along with a gratuitous shot of my new boat, finally got it a few days ago after a seven month wait.
