I tossed on 245/70/17 and get good amount of rub on the pinch welds/seams. Full lock is ok, but any type of off camber really pushes into the welds. Am lifted also. After pulling the wheel liner I see that it has the factory tack welds are not far from the outer edge near the tire. I’ve trimmed in other vehicles, but was just extra metal. Nothing structural or weld points. Even if I trimmed it, it still wouldn’t give me enough clearance since I wouldn’t want to remove the welds there. I mean I could run a bead down it and probs fix it, but I’m not gonna. My worry is even trimmed you don’t get a lot of clearance in the wheel well. Mud, snow, debris, etc. and then stuffing the tire in is gonna cause more issues than I can correct with trimming.
I’m gonna swap to same tire in 245/65/17 next week probs. The 70s work on street but actually off-roading not so much. Barely stuffed
