Anyone running 275/70R16 with a stock suspension? (3rd Gen)

My parents need new tires on their 4Runner. Since they have a dedicated Snow/AT Tire, were looking at getting a set of Performance Street tires. We found a set of Kumho Ecsta STX for cheap, and were considering them. But they only come in 275/70R16. Were looking to have them mounted ont he OEM 16x7s. Will they fit without rubbing>

When I first bought my 4r I mounted a set of BFG AT 275/70/16
No lift, bone stock. It fits with no issues. The tire is a touch wider that stock, but you will have no problems.
Have pics if you need

275/70/16 Bridgestone Dueler A/T REVO. Fit like a glove and look more normal than the stock 265/70/16 Dunlops.

HOld up your finger and thumb - get them about as far apart as the width of a pencil. THat's how much bigger 275/70s are than the stock 265s. So yep, they will fit with no problem.

Got them on today. 275/70R16. General Ameritrac SUV. Offered to us at $75 a piece ($100 a piece mounted/balanced), we couldnt refuse. The Kumhos were on backorder for 3 weeks. Theyre going on a road trip soon, so they couldnt keep the GYs. Fits like a glove.

Gangus,
Rotate the new tires every 5,000 miles and you should get great wear out of them.

When I rotate, I loosen all lugnuts, put jackstands under the rear axle, and then jack the front of the truck up with the floor jack under the skid plate. I take the left front tire and bring it to the right rear position, and the right front tire and bring it to the left rear position. The rear tires are brought straight forward. With this method, my REVOs have worn very evenly for 25,000 miles.
