Default Anyone running 265/70/18s on a 2WD?

So I ran 265/70/18s on my 2010 XLT SCrew 2WD and loved the look it gave. Reasoning behind going with that size was because it allowed me to stay out of LT tires and remained relatively light-weight. No rub at all and didn't need to level it, although I should have. I'd like to go with the same size on my 2015.

Do any of you currently run 265/70/18s, or a similar sized tire, with or without a level? If you do, mind posting pictures of your truck and some details about your MPG change? Do they rub at all? Did you need to do an alignment? Preferably only those with the 2.7L as that will give me the closest comparison.

Thanks in advance!

The size you gave is about a 32.5" tire. I had 32" tires (275/55/20) on my truck before the 34" )275/65/20) I have now. It would be about a 1/2" tire than the stock 18" rim 4x4 tires.

I don't know if anybody on here will have that size on their truck since it's not a big change from stock height. To answer your questions:
- I doubt there will be any noticeable MPG difference due to closeness in size/weight
- They won't rub
- Shouldn't need an alignment unless you do a lift/level
