YukonTrail

I confirm 255 70 17 is simply too big. The tires fit on 17" stock rims (same as those seen on 02psychopathy pics), but they clearly rub in the front fender. I did try them on a dry fit. I finally decided to go with 255 65 17, because I wanted the width. I am pretty satisfied with this. This makes a 30" x 10" tire, which is big enough for this truck, if you don't want modify anything or melt any plastic. They fit without any problems. I thought about 265 65 17, but since the trail that goes to my cabin has many short stiff drops, which makes the rear axel to seriously push one wheel up in the rear fender, I had a doubt. I did test them (255) at those precise spots and there is 1/4" left between the tire and the fender, so 265 would rub. I have to say that my rear springs are nearly due. I guess, I you want to push it to the limit and deal with slight rubbing, which could be solve by remodeling the plastic fenders, 265 65 17 is fine, but if you don't want to modify anything at all 255 65 17 fit perfectly. As 02psychopathy posted, 245 70 17 seem to be fitting pretty nicely too, but for some personal reasons I find that 245 is not wide enough for a Pathy. Maybe it because that is the width you find on Honda Ridgeline, which I don't like at all. Cheers
