This is my concern.

I don't think you will have an issue with 245/75's since they are only taller and not wider than your current 245/65. The outer lugs could be a problem with the tire change, but worst case you cut the bolt or replace with rro/jba upper control arms because they use a much smaller stud.
I have 245/70r17 Duratracs and I don't know if you'll be able to fit 245/75r17's without some spacers. That being said, I've heard of people fitting 265/65r17's without spacers on stock rims so the only way you'll know for sure is to have them test fitted. Here's a picture of my 245/70r17's:
I can get a better picture if you want.

The xk wheels have about 1/2" more clearance than wk wheels.
Picture is great. You started the thread off looking at the 245/75/17s so I guess you settled on the 70.If all is going well? Then this is the size I will go with. Just not that interested in spacers.

It's just the angle of the picture, there's plenty of room.Originally Posted by 07JeepXK
LOL didn't even realize I started this thread. Yep I decided to go with the 70s because I just didn't want to deal with spacers and rubbing. Looks great at stock height and with about 1" of lift. I don't think having an XK would change anything. I have plenty of clearance everywhere and have not rubbed once, even off road. I think I posted pictures at the pinch weld and swaybar also somewhere around this forum. I can repost them if you want.

These must do a number on the fuel mileage?

I have 245/75/17's DuraTracs. With JUST an RC lift they will rub at full lock (The rub isn't horrible and was only at full lock). However, I now have the pinch weld mod done + 1,5" spacers so there is no rub what so ever. I intend to go bigger/wider with new DuraTracs once these are done.
