Who is running 265/70/18 tires?

[patrickd72]

Looking to buy new tires for my 06 Limited. Going with Michelin LTX/MS2 in 265/65/18 or 265/70/18. I have a Daystar 2.5/1.5 that I will have installed before I get the new tires. I am leaning towards the smaller size tire for gas mileage and I am afraid I would have to do some trimming with the larger tire, which is a deal breaker for me. Just wanted to see if anyone has a similar set up with either tire size.

Thanks for any input!

well I have 265/65/18 BFGs on my Runner and I also have the Daystar 2.5/1.5. I only noticed a small amount of rubbing on the front of the wheel well, but I remedied this with a simple mod.. here's the link to JA's write up (its at the end of the wheel spacer write up)
Toyota 4Runner Wheel Spacers
It basically just moves the whole wheel well forward a little, without cutting. I didn't want to cut or trim anything either, so I was happy to find this simple mod.
But, maybe someone with the Michelins will be able to confirm whether they rub or not.
Best of luck! :biggrin2:

I am running 265/65/18's with no rubbing on a stock suspension right now. I have Firestone Desination A/T's. I plan on doing the 2.5/1.5 daystar lift too, but I am doing mainly for the looks, not because of any rubbing issues.
