I have the exact same tire in the same size and mine fits underneath, unmodified. Just the luck of the draw with how the tolerances are in each specific truck.
Aggressive Mods less like mom car.

Nice roof rack and wheels. What are those?

Yep, as I mentioned above, adding a roof rack will also help erase the mall cruiser look.
It really doesn't take much for the transformation from Mommy car to DAD's Truck. And the best part is form follows function. Everything you'll do has a practical function, Unlike Harley Davidson's, you're not just adding chrome to chrome for the sake of pretty.
RRW RR7-H in a 0 offset. They're a hybrid wheel with both an internal bead for regular mounting or a true front beadlock. Those are the raw aluminum protection rings, but I took them off for now since we've been getting so much snow and I don't want stuff collecting in there. I really like them, but I have a habit of changing them every few months so who knows how these will last.
RR7-H 17x8.5 (6x5.5 | 6x139.7) Hybrid Beadlock | Lexus GX470
In stock and ready to ship RR7-H restock coming in March The RR7-H features a hybrid design that allows you to run it as a street wheel or as a true beadlock. Our newest wheel allows you to customize by your usage. Either add the Forged Beadlock Ring if you ever decided to go wheeling, or...

Rack is a Prospeed rack, and I believe it's one of the lower profile ones on the market currently.
With the OEM class IV hitch receiver, I think you have just barely more than 31.5 inches of tire clearance. If your 265/70/17 runs a little small, it will fit. If it runs true to size, you can make it fit by airing down and/or squeezing it in there. If it runs larger than the true size, it won't fit. My Pirelli's actually measure right about 32 inches and it is quite apparent they will never fit under there.
I also had issues with getting a 265/70/17 Rubitrek to fit in the spare location, with the Lexus class IV hitch. Was such a pain the the ass to get out one time I never put it back. I have since moved up my tire size significantly and now have no hope for a spare underneath, but it does open the possibilities for additional storage…
For the OP, I probably have the setup you are looking to do, plus lift.

I run stock sized Falken wildpeaks on blackline rims. This guy runs close to stock tires (275/65R18) so if your not doing more than this, go stock and don't worry:
Love your tire and wheel setup. Which wheels do you have? What offset?

Looks great. Did you have to make any modifications to wheel well with this setup? I have the exact same tire dimensions, but I run a far-less aggressive Defender LTX. I have heard the tread blocks can be a problem on the KO2s
For my 265/70/17 Pirelli AT+ on 17x8.5 +10 wheels on stock shocks I had to trim off a bit from the inside fender/sideskirt on the front to get rid of the occasional rub. I imagine the K02s would require similar treatment as I believe both tires run slightly larger than the official size (265/70/17 is supposed to measure 31.5 inches but my Pirellis measure about 1/2 larger).
Makes sense. I am also wondering how much offset is playing a role here. I am still running the OEM wheels (+30 offset) without any spacers.
