Where did they touch? Top? Front and rear of wheel arch, or on the inside when locking the steering in a direction?

The rear was fine but the front touched on the wheel arch and mud flaps when trying to do a full lock either direction.

Interesting - I just got confirmation from someone on the 4x4community, that they will fit!

So maybe different tire brands do/don't fit?

Hmmm, mudflaps I can understand... The I put the GLX flaps on my GLS and noticed a slight difference in the clearance between the wheel and the flap.

I suppose the only fix for a front wheel arch fix, is an off road bumper...?

The bumper seems the closest, but I wonder about he inside of the wheel arch - - does the rear of the front wheels not touch the inside somewhere on full lock?

Just some pictures of 265/70/17 Cooper ST Maxx (note ome coils and nitrocharger shocks resulting in 40 - 45mm lift)

: wheel fully turned outward (inside gap)

: from the outside looking in fully turned outward

: wheel fully turned inwards (front side view)

: like above except top view

: front wheel fender clearance

: rear wheel fender clearance

Thats great news! Can't wait for my next tyre replacement! Done any trails with them?

Would love to see some pics when the front is a full bump stop.

Ed. On re-reading I noticed the replacement bumper... Seems like the way to go in the long run.

My friend fitted a set of tyres from a FJ cruiser on his Gen 4(std 2007). I believe these are 265/70/17. I just phoned him to confirm that they touched nowhere. Note that they arent A/T or M/T tyres, just std road tyres

Thats good news! Hopefully it will make the size more common, making the price a bit lower!
