It has been posted before that they fit without mods and no scraping on full turns

Not possible. Size is not even option. Anyone have anything other than stock on stock rims?

Hi Chris,
Here is the widest tire size you can fit without clearance problems with a stock 17" Rim.
285 60 17, This makes it identical diameter so your speedo is still spot on.
Check my thread with pictures and details.
Search Toyo Proxes ST in the GX Forum.
Good luck, by the way, I have 20,000 miles on my Toyo Proxes ST and I love them !
Cheers
Mike

Would I need an adapter/spacer, Or will they simply not fit without rubbing? I know there is a formulation on whether certain tires would fit. Any help would be appreciated.
