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

This one is being shipped in from Maui as I type. 2017 in peeling white. Wheels are by Black Rhino - don't know the model.

Are you running spacers with the steelies? Been thinking about going this route, found some FJ steelies. Truck looks good!

 

Its set to 3'' in the front and the leaf pack I have in the back is 2-2.75.. they don't give an exact number

Thanks dude!

 

No spacers. Truck is all stock. Wheels are 17"x7.5" I believe. Not sure on the offset/BS but wheels do stick out a tad more but not outside the truck. I did have to remove the OEM mud flaps and install Rokblokz but that's it. I only have the slightest rubbing when turning full lock on the UCA but really not noticable and not worried about it. Main reason I went this route was wheels are cheap and I had a new set of stock JL Rubicon take off tires. Also the spare does fit but it's tight.

 

285s on 16inch raceline wheels.

 

Just reached 50k on my since day 1 Nitto MT’s. Surprisingly they still have some ok tread left. Pricing out some Toyo RT Trails. I’ll post ‘em up soon once their on.

 

285’s look so much better on 16’s! Love the look!

 

Thanks I appreciate it!

 

Nokian Outpost AT 285/75/16. Great tires, very smooth on the road and lightweight being E rated. I notice no difference regarding acceleration between these and my old 265/75/16 Falken Wildpeaks that were SL load range.

Front end alignment complete. Moved caster to 2.9 with stock upper control arms. Very minimal rub on occasion at full lock. Drives great for daily driving.

 

Finally got the new tires!

Did the Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/T 285/70R16 with the 1.25" spacers along with the Westcott Designs trd pro lift.
Overall I am pretty happy with how everything turned out. Had to do some minor trimming to avoid any rubbing.

 

Just installed my 285/70-17 KO2's. LR C. What best air pressure for. Maybe, 80lbs in the bed but otherwise no other weight. I was thinkin 30lbs in the front and 28 in the rear? Please advise. Thanks!

 

They look great. Just curious why you did these and not the RT Trail's.

 

I have 285/70/17 Nitto Grapplers and just went up to 40 lbs. I also don't have much weight in the bed. Didn't really notice too much difference in ride quality, and the mpg went up slightly. Haven't driven it enough to tell any difference in the wear pattern.

 

What trimming did you do?

 

Just washed with my new 285/70-17 KO2’s Went from 265/70-17 WildPeaks

 

Thanks! I actually mounted 265/75 Nitto Ridge Grapplers and the look was just too small for my taste. I’ve look at tons of trucks for years and two of them ran these RTs and I have always been drawn to them. I prefer the look of the tread pattern a tad more. The RT Trail is a great looking tire though.
