285/75/17 & stock wheels pic pls

I just ordered a 2" level kit and am debating on tires. If anyone is running 285/75s on stock wheels could you please post pics. I think the 285/70s are a little short and the 315s are a little wide. Thanks for any help.

go with 305/65R17 they are a little bigger and no rubbing problems even on stock suspension.

also i think they are easier found in load range e.

I can't pass a photo-op up......Toyo 285/75-17 AT's and KORE Chase System. I chose these tires as I did not want 35x12.5 tires on the stock rim. These tires are about 2.25" larger diameter, and the speedo is 3.9 miles per hour different.
Everything was installed with quality workmanship by DRC last week.
The truck should have come with this size tire from the factory.

That's a good looking truck. I wouldn't worry about leveling it.

If you want a little more height and not the width go with the 295 Toyo OC M/T. I had the BFG A/T version for a 16 inch wheel on one of my older trucks. They are a good option if you don't want to step all the way up to a 315/35" tire.

I have Toyo 295 MT's on mine, might be just what you are looking for.



They have a great load rating also.

The 295/70 R17 are not taller than the 285/75 R17. The 295's are 33.25" tall where as he 285's are 33.8" tall. The 295's are just wider. By the way those 295's are sweat tires .
