| The LMM are 17's. I think you can fit a 265/70/17's on it. The only problem is If you have it loaded the tires can touch and rub causing heat and friction which could cause a blow out.

| I know NorCal Nick is running a set of Toyo Mud Terrain 295/70r17 on his LMM. He is also running a set of 2" Fred's spacers. I know he has towed a combined weight of 32,000 lbs with his truck. Hope this helps.

| the tallest and safe size for the 17" duals are the 238-80R17 and anything taller will be wider and you will need spacers to do it.you can fit 265-70R17 and 285-70R17 but with spacers only..

I took the stock tires off and put on 265/70/17 Toyo Open Country A/T's on my 08' LMM and had zero clearance issues. I used 1.5" wheel spacers on the rear and have plenty of room in between the duals with a load on the tires. | |

| be advised though...with spacers and bigger tires, your tires are gonna stick out from the fendor some....rock chips are very likely after this..
