Will 275/65-17 Fit?

Will these tires fit on an 03 SE without any rubbing?

I have an 03 Limited V8 and i got 265/70/17s with no rubbing so i don't see why not.

Being slightly wider than a 265 I would have concerns of rubbing at full turn, aslo wondering if that small increase in width would affect MPG?

I'd guess they'd be fine based on Spaceman's 275/70/17's. As far as mpg is concerned I suspect tread and tire design will play a larger component than the slight increase in width. You could almost argue the increased width loss might be offset by the more favorable gearing because of the taller tire. That's my 2cents

^^Well Said ^^

Tire composition, type, and thread design will have more effect that a 1cm increase in width of your tire. The increase is 3.7% respectively which technically will have minimal effect on your mpgs.

Taller tire will also effect your speedometer reading....which is still minimal...
