265 70 R16 Falken Wildpeaks AT/4W on KJ with 2.5-inch lift

[AdmiralAckbar1325]

Does anyone run 265 70 R16 tires on stock KJ rims with 2.5-inch OME lift? Trying to determine if I am going to need new rims or wheel spacers to avoid rubbing sway bar, etc. I am currently running 245 70 R16's BFG Trail Terrains with no rubbing, but they look a bit small on a 2.5-inch lift and I want to get my rear diff a little higher up for off road.

My pinch welds are folded over and I massaged the plastic fender liner up front with a heat gun just a little bit already, also have strut plates up front above the springs which gave me about a quarter inch of additional lift up front, I can measure my exact height when I get home. Just trying to determine if 265 70 R16 is completely out of the realm of possibility or not, thanks!

We have 3" lift and 245/75R16 rub at full lock. 1.25" spacers. Not that it's been a problem... just that it does.

I'm using 31x10.5r15 tires, which have almost the same outer diameter and width as 265/70r16 tires.
I've installed the wheels in the -16 offset position with spacers.
To be precise, the wheel offset is +19mm and the spacers are 35mm.
With this wheel position, the outside of the front tire tends to rub against the front bumper when fully steered.
The rear tire rubs against the fender flare when fully bumped.
It seems to work just right if I install the wheels in a ±0 offset position.
The lift is about 2.5 inches.
To install a spacer smaller than 35mm, the hub bolt must be cut.

Hi there, using At3W 265/70/16 with OME lift without any mods on pinch welds etc. Getting some rub on weird angles and full lock but nothing too major.

Left side hits the sway bar on full lock - so mostly I avoid locking it all the way.

Rear gets mild rub on full compression but it's ok.

For me 245/75/16 was the sweet spot.

LT235/85-16 KO2 on stock wheels with 3 inch lift. Little rub on inner liner at full lock, but same diameter as 265/75-16. 245/75-16 cleared everything. Did not want to put spacers on to run the 265/75-16.
