I have 255/70r18 Wildpeak AT4/W’s on my Lariat FX4on stock wheels; 32.1 x 10”. It’s tight with the upper control arms, but no rubbing. You might have a problem with the width of 265/70r17‘s as they are 31.6 x 10.4” unless you add spacers or buy wheels with a different offset. Here are a few pictures of my Wildpeaks.

First off, thank you for the reply, secondly did you Do LT tires or or normal load rating?

SL… LT’s are much heavier and overkill for this truck, even if you do a lot of towing.

I bought wheels with an offset of +40mm I'm pretty sure 265/70R18 will work but I think 275's might rub the control arms. 265's on the stock +55mm is going to be cutting it really close. The only thing that makes me think 275/70R18 might work is that 285/70R18 seems to fit on a +35 offset wheel. You also have to check individual tires as they aren't all exactly the same height and width. Cooper makes a 265/70R18 that's a 33.2" tire while most are around 32.6" Its all pretty inconsistent. Anyways we need more people experimenting with tire sized and offsets and then posting the results on here. You're on a 17" wheel so you wont be as tall so wont be as tight as what you would think from Steve's photos. I still kind of doubt it though, a 255/75R17 might be interesting.

That would be the 17” wheel equivalent of what I’m running… but Falken doesn’t offer that for the AT4/W. The LT255/80r17 is probably too tall without a small lift. There are only a couple 75mm sidewall option, none that are really good.
