My 2 front tires are bad so I am thinking of buying 265's and putting them on the rear and moving the rears(245's) to the front.

I really like the Dunlop Star Specs or the BFG KDW2's,but I was wondering if i'd have any rubbing issues with the 265's in the rear on my stock 17's?

I'll have to keep the stock BFG KDWS on the front until I can afford 2 more new 245's or 235's for the front in a few months.

If I go with 265's in the rear should I go with 235's in the front so that the sidewalls will looks the same?

a 265 is not an opitmal fit on a stock rim. and a KDW is much bigger than most others

Yea I know,but there seems to be quite a few guys that run a 265 on the stock wheels.I'm just worried about going with a brand of tire that does run wider so I'm trying to find out from the guys that are running that setup for any issues they may have encountered.
