V8 Sport stock rim with larger tire

[JeratBP]

I've been reading the reviews on what tires I want, and personal preference is leaning toward the General Grabber AT2. I want BFG KO2, but for the money the AT2's are a better deal.

Stock size: 265/65R17

GG AT2: 265/70R17

Do I have the right size? I thought I needed the 275/65R17.

Will the larger size spare fit underneath? Is anyone running this setup that wants to post pics here?

Do you have a lift? The 275's would rub without a lift unless you do some major trimming. I have a daystar 2.5/1.5 lift and it still rubs even with trimming.

I have an 07 sport with 17' rims and run 265/70R17 with very little rubbing. Only rubbing I get is on full tilt when turning. I'm at stock height.

I'm on OME 2.5 lift.

Gavino, what do you mean by full tilt?

Gavino, what do you mean by full tilt?

When my steering wheel is fully cranked to one side when turning. That is the only rubbing I get. I could get rid of it by minor trimming but will wait until lift.
