Grabber AT2 on 4x2 Stock 2007 F150 Will it fit?

Before I order them... from what I've read from the specs and using tire size calculators, this is what I've got:

Specification Sidewall Radius Diameter Circumference Revs/Mile Difference
235/75-17 6.9in 15.4in 30.9in 97.0in 653 0.0% -Current HK
255/65-17 6.5in 15.0in 30.1in 94.4in 671 -2.7% -Stock Conti
265/65-17 6.8in 15.3in 30.6in 96.0in 660 -1.0% -Grabber AT2

Section Width
9.4" -Current Hankooks
10.2" -Stock Conti
10.7" - Grabber AT2

Will I have a problem in fitment or any rubbing issues with General Grabber AT2 tires sized at 265/65-17 on this truck?

Remember, I have a 2007 F150, 2 Wheel Drive (4x2), XL, Stock 17" rims -- Completely stock ride height!

From looking around in the wheel well, I don't see any problems... but before I throw money out the window, I'd figure I'd ask!

I do have one more question and it kind of scared me for a second until I read up on it... but I want to make sure...

It is in regard to the Rim Width Range, Measured Rim Width and the Section Width... I think my truck has a 7.5" wide rim; but you can chime in if it don't, as it is a stock Ford 17" rim.

Here are the specs of all 3 tires:

Current Hankook DynaPro RF08 235/75R17:
Rim Width Range: 6-8"
Measured Rim Width: 6.5"
Section Width: 9.4"

Stock ContiTrac 255/65R17:
Rim Width Range: 7-9"
Measured Rim Width: 7.5"
Section Width: 10.2"

General Grabber AT2 265/65R17:
Rim Width Range: 7-9"
Measured Rim Width: 8"
Section Width: 10.7"

Please help me... I'm scared! Will they still work on my factory rims?!

I'm thinking that the Measured Rim Width is just used to get the average Section Width of the tire?

RIght. Every tire you listed is approved for 7.5 inch wheels.

ManualF150, I agree with Wandell and you will be fine. That dude knows his stuff.

Yes the stock rims are 7.5. I have a 2007 4X4 XLT with Bilstein 5100 leveling shocks on mine which leveled the front about 2 1/2 inches. Next few weeks I am going to try and toss on some Kuhmo AT KL78 325/65/R18's on my stock 18 inch rims. We will see what happens if I run into problems w/the width it's just an excuse to get the rims I wanted and add some more lift

The Grabber AT2's are good tires I was going to do those but got a good deal on these from a relative in the business so I had to jump.

Good to know... whew.

I was sweating it all day today.

My order is ready for shipping on Monday. Looks like I will be getting them on the 6 or 7th like they said for the approximate shipping times.
