look up my photobucket gallery. search kawiram, and there are pics of mine leveled with 285's. They are way to small! Plus it needs a inch or two in the back for rake.

Go with 35"s they really fill up the fender well nicely, but not too big.

I have 285s with no lift. Looks good to me. I would do the tires first. If you think it needs more, then do the lift.

285's would look ugly with a leveling kit.. I fit 35's and no leveling kit.

35's no leveling kit






35's leveled!!
