    Hello everyone, I am sure this question has been asked and answered but I can’t seem to find it clearly. I have a 2009 SR5 with no lift and was wondering if I can upgrade from 265/65/17 to 265/70/17 KO2s? I am concerned rubbing may be an issue. Anyone else done this?

    Looks like a 1.1" diameter difference. I suspect you'll be fine, but the only way to know is to get them installed and start driving. Good news is you get something like 500 free miles to try them out. If they don't work for any reason, take them back to the tire store and swap them for something else.

    I needed to stretch the inner fender liner to keep 265/70/17s from rubbing at full lock in reverse. Otherwise, no rubbing

    Also unless you're really set on K02s, there are a lot of other tires out there that perform well. I'm personally a fan of Falken Wildpeak AT3Ws over the K02s
