    Got them put on today. I really like the look and am glad to get rid of the 265's. Here are some before and after pic's. Three with 265's before and three with the new 285 Kelly's.

    Looks good! I like the stance with the wider wheels and the way the 285s fill out the wheel wells.

    Also, do you get a lot of wind noise from your roof rack? Mine makes a noticeable wind sound when opened like yours is.

    I don't get noise from the rack, I do get it from my light bar though. I usually don't run with the rack open like that. I used it for moving stuff back to college for my daughter and just haven't changed it back.

    Looks great. Thanks for posting this as I have been on the fence the between 265/75/16 or 285/75/16. You made my choice much easier. 285 for sure. Nice rig.

    Those rims in the first 3 pics don't look like Wheelers steelies at all.

    The first three are Toyota steelies, just posted them for comparison against the new wheelers brand.

    Some stuff...
    Looks good and fills out those wells nicely! Did you have to do any trimming?

    No trimming, I did take the front mud flaps off. I did this before getting the wheels so I don't know if they would have rubbed or not.
