Toyo 325/70-17 and H2's...to big?

I got my Toyo Open Countrys mounted to my H2's yesterday (they look sweet ) and the tire guy said he tried to put them on the truck, but they rubbed so bad it would tear the bumper off. I know they are a bit larger than the BFG 315/70-17's, but does this sound right? My truck is still the stock height. I figured they rub a little, but come on, rip the bumper off?

how wide are the rims? I put 35 bfgs on mine with a 10"wide rim and i could hardly turn the wheel with a 3" leveling kit. i went down to a 8.5 wide rim and i made it work

H2's are 8.5" wide. The tire measures 35"x13" mounted. I'm going to try and get one mounted at lunch and see for myself.

While at the shop I told the attendant they would probably rub a little, but to use his own judgement, and if they rubbed too much just to leave the stockers on the truck. I have a feeling the guy got lazy and didn't even try.

I have them

I have them on my truck, but I've got KORE suspension. They rub on the back of the fender a little when you’re turning and hit a bump. Not to bad at all. Not so sure about stock height.

Well, I mounted the drivers side front and it fits, but its close. It sure looks tough, though! I think I'll go ahead and mount them up and just take it easy for a couple weeks until I get my lift from Don Thuren.

I posted some pics of the clearances but they are still pending approval. I get them in this thread as soon as they show up. If you don't mind let me know what you think. Thanks!

toyo

Lift will help that out. I like these tires a lot, but seem to be wearing a little quicker then I thought they would. It may just be my driving habits though. I had a set of BFG 315's that only lasted 30k and there's people out there with 50k....So they say. The backs wore evenly and faster then the front.

I was going to go with the BFG 315's but I found these brand new (they still had all the stickers on them) on ebay for $150 each. I just couldn't pass that up.

I have a 2" lift coming from Don Thuren. Once that's on I figure I'll be golden.

Wow they really fill the wheel wells out...I think it looks great and prolly will look even better once you get the leveling kit on.

Thanks HdPower.

Well I have them on the truck and they look really good. I think HdPower is right, they'll look even better once the truck is leveled out.

Believe it or not, rubbing is minimal. I'll get a few more pics of all four installed tomorrow.
