Hey,

I've seen a 305/70R17 Goodyear MT/R mounted on a 17x8.5" (+25mm offset). Just to check clearance the truck was driven around very slowly, there was rubbing in the front on the plastic wheel well liner. The rubbing occured at the rear bottom portion of the liner, it looks like a little triming of the liner and possibly a small portion of the pinch weld (.25" or so) behind the liner might be all it takes to run that size tire. This interference was found just during very low speed driving so more triming might be necessary for off-roading where the wheel accelerations are pretty high.
This Titan had a front lift of about 1.5".

And the 285/70R17 tire is the largest that will mount up to a 7.5" rim, a 8.5" rim will accept up to a 37x12.5 tire.
