Michelin 265/70R16, 02 pathfinder?

I'd like to put Michelin LTX M/S tires, 265/70R16's on a stock 02' pathfinder. Has anyone else used this exact tire and size? Does it rub at all? How bout other tires in this size? I've seen a few people say it rubs at full lock in reverse, some say its fine.

I'm running 255/70/16 Bridgestone Revo's with no rubbing problems.

I believe I've seen your size being the max on a stock rim with no lift, maybe needing slight fender trimming. Hopefully someone will chime in for sure.

I tried putting 255/70R16s on my 02 and they rubbed in exactly the situation you describe but only on the passenger side. The dealer recommended them and willingly took them back when I returned. I had some front end work done after hitting a deer but I don't think that would have changed tolerances. It's funny that they fit on some and not others.
