285/70 VS. 285/75

BFG Mud Terrain 285 75 17 do exist!!!

 

idk about that my 285/70's are just under 33 and my buddies 285/75's are just over 34

 

i have the 285/70/17's on mine with a 3" lift only had to remove mud flaps no cmc

 

No CMC for me either

 

The OP has a different truck than you guys.

 

i did one with my friend on his truck last weekend he did the cutting and i did the fabbing and welding and i mean we chopped them. going to do mine when it cools down some just for future check out TACOfms buil i think pg 33-34

 

? not a tacoma

 

my bad sorry just saw it was a third gen

 

if anything the 3rd gens can fit more.

 

Are they the same brand?

 

@Casper66 I stand corrected, but a lot of guys end up having to do it. Like i said wheels, spacers, offset, etc. does play a big role.

 

no mine are kumho at's his are nitto mud grapplers or something

 

yes you are absolutely rt all these things factor in and to be honest i'm suprised mine clear like they do my wheels are 17x9 4.5bs -12 offset so the tires stick out even more not obnoxiously but it could cause clearance issues

 

And forgot to mention the tread depth/aggressiveness

 

I was going to say. Even the same exact size will slightly vary from brand to brand. But a BFG KO2 in 285/70r17 will be about identical to the same tire in a 285/75r16 variation

 

It does. I run them. I would recommend 285/70/17 on the next set - did a CMC with 2.75" of lift over stock (3rd gen) and still rub every now and then on curbs/driveways at full lock. Plus at 285/70/17 you can get C-rated, whereas the 285/75/17s are E-rated (much heavier, intended for full size truck, ride much stiffer)

 

What are yall talking about?? I have bfg ko2 in 285/75/17's on my truck. They are 34's and almost an inch larger than the 285/70/17's.

If you are re-geared, id get the larger ones. They are E rated as someone mentioned a post above.

Be prepared for lots of chopping of wheel liner and fender plastics. Also be prepared for a super aggresive CMC. Mine touches still at full lock on flat land.

Ive had a CMC already but am going back to get basically a new cab mount fabricated since there isnt any extreme CMC's available for 3rd gens yet

 

"Extreme CMCs"

 

Like the Insain Fab or Red Goat Fab offerings for 2nd gen

 

Oh yes the CM Relocate. Get some 3" square tube and fab a couple mounts up.
