Plenty of posts on this already - you will rub your UCA, in some cases with 265/70R17 you will rub at full lock..... so if you want to run this size tyre you would need +10 offset rim in a 17x8 (dymanic make these). I'd go a 285/70R17, but you'd have to make sure you have enough suspension lift to accomodate - need at least 3".

After doing some research on the same issue, i ended up getting the Bighorn's 762 (there is a new model 764) - mainly due to budget reasons. I only have a 2" lift and the toyota rims - No issues nor rubbing at all.

What size tyre have you bought? 275/70/17 presumably given the thread title.

I had 275/70-17's on my 120 Prado, ran it like that without lift for a few weeks and did rub a little when the wheel tucked up into the guard . . . put 2" lift in and not a problem in the world.

These are a great tyre for the price . . . I'm pricing the bighorns for my second 120 Prado, looks like $330 to $340 each is the going price in WA.
