I have the Raptor bead lock wheels with 315/70/17 tires on my 2017 with the Bilstein 5100s at the 2nd highest setting, which I believe is 1.75" and I have no rub at all. I love the look, but the ride does not improve with the stiffer tires. I since have put on 315/70/17 Cooper AT3 XLT tires and still have no rub with brand new rubber. Man I love the look of this truck.
Here are my stock Goodyear Wrangler Fortitude 265/70R 17 tires on the Raptor wheels, now granted I do have a Bilstein 2.1 level on the front and replacement shocks on the rear.
Nice setup. I just bought a set of identical rims and was going to put my 265/70R17 Michelin LTXs on them. Do you have a picture of your truck from the back so we could see how far (if at all) the wheels stick out past the fenders with no flares?

They don't really extend much beyond the wheel openings, although I do have a set of OEM wheel flares going on when the weather gets a little better.
Thanks for posting! I'm not a fan of the tires outside the wheel wells and wanted to see what they look like with the 10mm difference in offset. I can live with that.

I'm with you on that, I really don't like the "Roller Skate" look either.

That’s interesting, my experience was the exact opposite when I switched to raptor tires. The ride quality was noticeably better than the stock wranglers. I can’t believe how comfortable this truck rides now, nicer than my wife’s Audi.

what suspension adjustments did you make when putting them on? Lift, level with shocks?

I went from 18 inch sport wheels to the raptors with a level and the ride is much better
