Looks great! Very aggressive. I've been considering swapping out my stock 225/65R17 with 235/70R17 A/T tires. I wonder if the these would rub when turning? I'm assuming no lift?

No lift and no rubbing on full lock according to the owner.

there shouldn’t be because these are 65 series tires in 17 inch wheels.

will 70 series rub? Probably not but unaware if anyone tested it yet

These wheels are +35mm offset, I presume?

Something that I just thought of as I will be purchasing some 245/65R17 A/Ts to replace the stock tires very soon...I wonder if you lose wheel suspension travel with bigger tires and no lift? Maybe not directly, but wouldn't you lose clearance at the top of the fender well when going over bumps and rough terrain?

Would like to see a picture of BB or OB with 235/60R18's on the 18" wheels

There's a thread for an OB with pictures of 235/65R18 tires:

Anyone know if a 245 will fit the optional 18” BB rim? I’m wanting to do 245/60/R18 on mine as I’m less concerned with potential suspension travel rub although I’ve read that doesn’t appear to be an issue even without the 1” level. If I have to go 245/55 that’s fine too. But I’d prefer to keep the factory 18 rim.

Love these tires,!! Would did you do with the factory tires?? Did the dealer or aftermarket tire shop make a deal with you on the swap?

Would like to know as well. I ordered 18 but want a more aggressive tread but without downsizing to 17. Advise on your findings.
