32" M/T fitment with no rubbing?

[bioboyd]

Will they fit?
I'm looking at the Milestar Patagonia M/Ts in LT265/70R17, which are 31.9" tall -- more than a full inch taller than my Wildpeak AT3Ws in the same size. Has anyone used them and, if so, were the Milestars good to go without a BMC or trimming the fender liners?
Thanks,
Mike

I haven't used those specific tires, but I had duratracs in that size and they only ticked the plastics at full lock in reverse. You should have minimal problems, maybe a little heat gun on the liners if a slight rub in certain situations bugs you.

Thanks for chiming. Happy Hallo-wheeling!

You'll need to have high caster UCAs to move the tire forward or you'll need a BMC

What wheel/offset?

My stock sized Duratracs (265/65/17) rub the fender liners on TRD wheels. 1" lift on stock UCAs. Somehow they are too far forward... nothing wonky up front, all stock other than mild lift.

Not for a 265/70r17. You don't even need to remove the running boards.

I have 265/70/17 Pirelli AT+ with stock suspension. It seems like these run a few tenths larger than the official 31.6 inch diameter so they're pretty close to a true 32 inch. I had to trim a bit of the side skirt portion of the fender liner to get rid of rubbing when reversing or hitting a bump while turning. It took all of 10 minutes with a razor knife.
