Just received my new 2023 Lariat with FX4 and Tow packages. Requested dealer put on Falken Wildpeak A/T3W LT245/70R17's. Based on the post here and other places, I was under the impression this size would work. Rear was fine but front would rub with the slightest turn. May go with leveling kit and try again, but for now its the OEM's for me.:(

I know this is an older post, but if anyone else is researching sizes, I'm hoping I saved some one some trouble.

Through on my new tires which are Falken Wildpeak AT3’s in a 245/70r17. I believe this is as big of a tire as you can go without a lift

I just literally finished installing 245/65r17s on my Mav, feels much better and got a bit more ground clearance.
