I am about to get new tires for my 01 X SE, and wonder -- how big can the tires go -- without any trimming?

Steinism posted this query in this forum, but it was a ways down the thread (and I couldn't say it better --

"255/65R16 is the size that comes with the 2001 se x. i upgraded to the 255/70R16 which are 30's with no trimming required...i've heard that 265/70R16 which are equivalent to 31's fit with no or even a slight bit of trimming. "

What is the real scoop? Can a 265/70/16 fit the 01 SE without trimming? I'd like to keep the mud flaps and not alter the vehicle.

I'm looking at BFG AT's (considering GY Wranglers)

Thanks!
