No rubbing. Here’s a front pic and rear pic. I think the size couldn’t be more perfect. I do wish the front of the MaV was a little wider so the tires didn’t stick out there but I’m also surprised at how I just don’t notice it which is really quite strange

A non Tremor with 2" lift and 265/65r17's
Hi I was wondering if your tremor is lifted? It looks amazing, and my Tremor is here in two months. Currently, I have 265/65/17 on my Mav FX4 CactusNot mine.
thxAre you still happy with the tire size after a few months? Any updates on if you've had rubbing issues and what kind of mileage you are getting? Do any offroading in ti?It’s a crappy pic but all I had time for since today was so hectic and busy. Picked up truck this morning and straight to tire shop. 65 miles drive on factory tires with full tank of fuel thru 4 towns with plenty of red lights and yep I got caught on all of them. Lots of elevation changes on the highway where you’re going uphill for minutes at a time. Using my foot with steel toe boots I may add I averaged 30.8 mpg according to trip computer as I reset it as soon as I was leaving the dealership. Since the new tires I’ve put an additional 35 or 40 miles on it in mostly all city driving and have went down to 27 even. Tires are 245/70/17 BFG KO2’s and I think I chose the correct size to fill out the wheel wells. I think the 75’s to me would have been too much for my liking.
Looks good! Let us know how it goes on rubbing if you do any offroading or even some curb flexing. Im hoping to 265/65s. Do you plan on doing much offroading? Just asking since those look like the tread isnt much better than the 235 Falkens. I want to get up in size to get the advantage of the larger tread gaps of the 245 or 265 sizes. Either way, a 30+ in tire looks a ton better.I went with a 245/70r17, the Vredestein Pinza AT. It was significantly lighter than the WIldPeak and especially the KO2. So the additional size doesn't cause any heavy feeling through the wheel because of the saved weight.
The wheels I went with are nearly identical in offset to the factory wheel, so I have zero rubbing issues. And they were several lbs lighter than the stock wheels as well.
So the combined weight savings of both the tire/wheel creates a nearly identical feel through the wheel, doesn't put any undue burden on the drivetrain, and yields the same gas mileage even though the tire is larger.
Pretty happy with how it drives, can't feel the slightest difference from the stock wheel tire (except it is MUCH quieter), and love the new look.
Not planning on anything crazy offroad, which is why the similar tread to the Falkens wasn't a huge concern. The biggest thing for me was the weight savings, the lessened stress on the drive train, and the quieter ride. Will you let you know as I get it out and start testing the limits of clearance.
What wheels are those? Ultimately I am trying to do something similar - reduce rotational weight and increase tire size.I went with a 245/70r17, the Vredestein Pinza AT.

Check out these wheels (maybe in 18"??)
