How much rub are you willing to live with?

HAHA No.
265/65 are truck tires man!
Maximum you can get away with is 235/45/17 and those will rub. I'd recommend 225/45/17 to be on the safe side.

none, I had just seen these listed for sale & was hoping to get out easy....What would be a good size for 17"?
I've got 225 45-17 Icebears winters for this year. I had 16" 50 series 215's last year, loved them and not much rubbing.

For snow tires? Thinner is better in the snow; these will just float on top.
