2008 Base Highlander Tires

Just bought a 2008 base Highlander with 245/65/17 tires that need to be replaced. I would like improve the ground clearance slightly. Would mounting a 245/70/17 fit without any problems? What's the largest tire with this stock 17" rims anyone been able to fit without any clearance problems?

A quick way to check on sizes and what's available is to visit both tirerack.com and discounttiredirect.com and use their configuration tool to see what sizes are available for your HL. If you have any questions both companies have very helpful people who will talk to you over the phone. I'm not affiliated with either company, but have used them both over the years and been very happy with their service. I plan on upping my HL to 255/65/17 when I get new tires, adding a half inch in diameter and evening out the odometer error according to calculations. A side benefit that'll be nice....
