Will it work guys?

Can I run 265/70 or 275/70's on a 17x9 wheel ? Everything is stock except for the wheels. 17x9 4.5 bs and -12 off set.
Thought a 285/70 would cause rubbing or kill power?

I am running a 285/75r16 on a wheel with 4.00 inch backspacing. Your good man. As far as power I can tell but it ain't that bad

Well I really like the wheels that are 17x9 but just wasn't sure if a 265 or 275 would fit ok on that width wheel. I air down on the beach and usually take some other girls along so was afraid the 285 would rub with all our stuff and people aboard?

I'm running 265-70-18's, if that helps?

They work great. No rubbing lock to lock.

Edit: Sorry, I overlooked the part about aftermarket wheels. The above is on a stock rim.
