Show your 285/75/16 and 285/70/17

Do you like the Rough Country lift? Just got Rebel 6s and same size wheels as you, trying to decide on lift.

 

This is helpful for me. I’m trying to find a lift/suspension that allows me to fit 285/17/70s and 17 inch wheels without and running.

 

I'm about to install Fox 2.5 coilovers with 1.25 spidertrax spacers. Trying to figure out the best tire size. 285/75/16 looks like the way to go. Did you have to do any trimming and do you have any tire rubbing offroad? Also how did your ride and fuel economy change? Do you feel it needs to be re-geared now? Thanks.

 

Can you run 285/70/17 on stock suspension

 

Yes, but only in a straight line, no turning.

 

Really clean stance

 

With a CMC and a good amount of cutting/trimming you can make it work.

I’m having buyers remorse lol. I got some 265-75-16 Nitto RG, love them

but wish I had waited to get wheels and tires together bc most wheels I like are in 17 it seems and it seems to have more tire options.

didn’t want to run an e tire so got the sl

 

285/70/17’s
Spare is still the stock 16 though. Bought it with these wheels and tires, pic from dealership when I picked it up.

 

I was torn between going with 285/75/16 and 265/75/16. I knew that I would kick myself if I did not go with 285's. I agree there are so many better options for tires choices in 17's. Especially if you are not looking into an E rated tire. I do not mind my heavy E rated tires. After about a week or two you do not notice any difference besides mpg. They killed it off roading this past weekend.

 

Looks great. I have always loved the quicksand color. Great choice.

 

Ya the mpg is what I want to avoid loll.

trying to see if anyone will by my current tires and go from there

 

Trying selling them in this section. South East | Tacoma World

I have had good luck purchasing/selling items in my Arizona section on here.

Thanks

 

thanks, I love this truck. Kinda wish it had the black trim but oh well, she’s still purrdy and a beast. Was super lucky to be able to find it in a long bed too. I don’t know if it’s been lifted or anything but it sits pretty high or if it’s just cause the 17in wheels and bigger tires making it sit higher?

 

From the pictures you posted it looks lifted. I love my longbed. You could paint the trim to look black. I have seen good results using Plastidip on the trim. If you want to take pics of the front and back suspension and post on here. I'm sure we could tell you what lift you have.

 

I thought it might be but wasn’t sure. I’ll do that though and see if anyone can say or not. Thought about the plastidip also, or just pulling the trigger on some replacement oem black fenders to swap out maybe.
Anyway, Thanks! Appreciate it.

 

This thread has me seriously torn between going with these roughly 33 sizes or just biting the bullet and going straight to 35s. Of course this will all have to wait until I actually lift mine. But keep posting pics y’all. It’s great to see all the rigs in here and gain some inspiration!!
