So I am interested in coming down from 18's to 17's on my 2016 SR5.
I was thinking of going with BFG KM3 (Muddies).
I was tossing up with 265/70 R17's or 265/65 R17's.
I have a 40 mm lift. Wondering if 265/65 R17's will hit or not? Any advice?
Thank you.

I had them on 2018 SR with about 40 to 50mm lift.
No issues.

They should be fine (when keeping your wheel offset standard or close to standard).
FWIW lift makes no difference to the amount of rub.

265/65/17 is the standard size on the SR, so it would be fine with no issues, assuming you have the same offset rims as the SR.
A lot of people go up to a 265/70/17 without any major issues, mostly just a little bit of castor adjustment to avoid rubbing.

Hey I’m running KM3 at the moment and they hit nothing. Full compression out 4x4ing and they just clip my mud flaps and drain for my catch can.
