I got a free set of 265/70/16 bfg at's with about 3/8 tread life from a buddy I was just wondering if I could squeeze them under my rig after my new ome 927's and 948's along with 3/8 strut shim and 3/8 clevis lift and 2 extra rear isolators on each side. I figure I could fit them height wise but don't know about turning. Also how bad would they cut down on my power.

With some cutting they will fit more than likely
power and mileage will be gone though
forget about using overdrive on the road until you hit 75-80, RPMs will be too low, plus it will run hotter ( at least mine did) until I went to 4.10s

265/70/16 is similar in size to 31x10.5, i believe tom may have read that as 265/75 which is a 32 and definitely kills power and mileage.

they will fit fine with some trimming but may rub at lock on the sway bar with stock rims.
