Tire Fitment question. 05 Explorer

I have a 05 Eddie edition 2wd Explorer right now it has bald 245/65/17's on it and I have a great set of 245/75/17 BFG rugged trails I would like to put on it. I looks like it will be a tight fit with no rubbing but not sure. Any input?

The larger tire will be 2 inches taller. That is 1 inch above the axle and 1 inch below. The truck will set 1 inch higher. New tires will be about 7 % off on speed. when speedo says 60, you will be going close to 65 MPH.
