That's goin to be a reeeeeallly tight fit. Most guys run 265/70/17 and still need to do a bit of trimming.

Thanks Guys. That's what I figured but thought I'd check before I buy, if anyone had any luck shoehorning in a set of boots that size. I also have a WK running a 2.25"RR w/265's and there isn't a lot of room to spare so I'm not surprised by the responses. Thanks again!

The WKs definitely have a bit more room than the XK. I've seen a few WKs with 285s crammed in there; but wheel selection and actual tire size plays a huge role in how much trimming is needed at that point.
For the XK, 265s generally need some help fitting -especially if you plan to go offroad. If I wanted to run 265s on my setup I would have to remove my rear HVAC lines; my 245/75/17 will hit that area (wheel width and backspace doesn't help me here).
PS welcome to the forum.
My 265's fit with some light normal mods. My new set will require some more intensive modification to say the least
My XK has the OME HD suspension lift, 265/70R17 (Goodyear Wrangler MT/R w/Kevlar) and 1.25 inch wheel spacers. Here in a few weeks im going to be upgrading to 285/70R17's with 1.5 inch wheel spacers. I however have done a few mods to my vehicle in the past few months to make the bigger tires fit without needing to buy the 4 inch lift. So if you want to fit that size tire on your XK with just a OME HD lift and nothing else done to it then the answer is NO.
