275 or 285's?

Can you all show me the difference in your 275's and your 285 tires? I'm debating on some 275/70's (which are not to common in all tires (BFG's)) or 285/70's Post your pictures of your tires.

 

I will tomorrow or wednesday, because my tacoma is getting lifted as we speak

 

you can check my gallery for pics of 275/70/17

 

I had 275s on my last truck. Pics in my gallery.

 

Cool there isn't a lit of 275s out there so I would like to see some. Thinking good width but a little skinnier then 285's

 

285 70 17 Duradrac's

 

I am a little worried about chips, but I like the look better. I love the Duratracs. Your taco looks sweet what tires are you running?

 

Anyone know if 285/70/17's will rub with 3" of lift? I'm in the same boat as the OP. Can't decide on 285's or 275's

 

I run 285 70 17 duratrac's on a 3'' lift.
Minor trimming and trust me you want 285's
O and my wheels are -12 offset

 

i have 285/70/17's with a 2.5" leveling kit in the front, 1" spacer in the back. you can look at my photos on my profile. front tires rub a little when turning certain ways in forward and reverse over uneven surfaces. i kept the rear mud flaps on, took off the front flaps. yes, you do get some scratches from rocks being thrown up, but it's not horrible. don't forget, it is a truck, it needs some scratches here and there!

 

From the left and the right. Excuse the Cali Slam in the first pic. There was 400lbs of lumber in the back.

Go 285x70R17s. Do it.

 

See any major difference in your gas going to the 285's. I'm really not to worried about it but if gas goes up to $4+ a gallon over the summer then I might start.

 

No. In fact oddly enough it's stated the exact same coming from 265x75R16s. That said, I'm pretty easy on the gas now. When I was rocking 255x70R16s I'd speed racer the fuck everywhere.

 

im running a 3inch pro comp lift and 285/70/17 on the atx crawl wheels. 0 offset and a 4.5 BS. Kumho A/T tires. i was running a M/T and they looked bad ass but i drive alot of highway so i switched to an A/T. very minor trimming and zero rubbing

 

dont have pics of the atx crawls up yet but i will soon. the pics in my profile are a 285/75/16 M/T tire

 

How about when flexing? NEVER any rubbing?

 

none at all. i took my front flaps off did some trimming behinde there and did some to the front section .......... ive gone offroad flexed my truck to the point i had one of my rear wheels 2 feet from the ground and i didnt rub at all. now before i trimmed and took off the flaps i rubbed in reverse and when flexed but nothing now

 

Thanks its much appreciated!

 

Update: I threw the rear flaps on the front ones wont fit.

 

Another pic to convince you to get 285's
