I'm running 265/70R17... So the answer is maybe. They rub the sway bar at full turn and hit the top inside fender well on the front when hitting big bumps off-road. I had to relocate the wheel speed sensor wire to get there. In the back it's the parking brake cables. It's all about offset. Stock 6.5" wide wheels are a bit narrow for a wide tire. 8" wide will cause other clearance issues. Search my username here.

I’m running 265/60R18 tires on 18x8 wheels. These vans don’t have a lot of room in the wheelwells, so you really have to stay close to the stock 30.5” diameter. Clearance is dependent on your wheel offset, too. I found a decent online visualizer that would show the change from the stock 245/75R16 on stock 16x6.5 wheels to whatever wheel & tire combo you are considering. It’s not a guarantee of fitment, but it’s better than guessing. My tires do rub slightly on rare occasion, usually when going over a bump at or near full lock turning
