245/65R17 on stock '05?

[8DC]

Probably should have asked this before, but I ordered a set of Firestone Destination A/T tires in 245/65R17 for my '05 Limited (stock tires are Goodyear Wrangler HT in 235/65R17 so a slight upsize of roughly 1/4" in both directions?).
Did I make a mistake? Will it rub?

With the amount of sag you have you may.
I've seen stock sizes rub before
If possible let them try one on the front first to see

Thanks, I'll have them check it.

If the suspension has sagged, it's going to need to be replaced anyway. Probably should be alright to get the tires mounted as long as I don't go full lock until I get things stiffened up?

The problem I have is that I had a tire blow out and I'm currently riding on the spare, which looks like it's from the car's original set, so I don't want to go too much longer before getting some new rubber on there.

Well it is sagged way over an inch.
Full lock will of course I'd say but could also just on the plastics.

Well, I must have got lucky. Had the tires installed today and so far no rubbing.
I'll still take it easy and keep it on the street until I refresh the suspension though...

Looks good but DEFINITELY looks close! More than likely rubs around turns...but a little rubbing isn't terrible. I rub in the front currently. I'm going to fix that soon though...
