Keep in mind you're going up on the height of the tire so your speedometer will be off. This will affect your speedometer by about 3-4 miles per hour on the high side, throw off your gas mileage calculations, and possibly have incorrect calculations your navigation time intervals (if equipped). 4 wheel drive, so obviously make sure all 4 tires are the same size.

NO THEY WILL NOT!!! Just paid $60.00 to find out the hard way. They'll rub the plastic fender liners when you turn. This is on a 2015 Ford Escape 4WD...

NO but 235/60R17 will work like a charm that's what I went with and absolutely no rubbing at all. I put Cooper AT tires on. It's tight but no rubbing
