265's or 285's?

Well I should be getting new tires soon but I'm still debating on what size. I don't know if 265s will look big on a double cab long bed..what do y'all think?

 

What size lift you gotz ?

 

Like a 2" spacer lift but I'll be putting 5100s on in a few months

 

5100's at 1.75 or 2.5 ?

 

265s look good with a 2-2.5" lift But 285s make the truck look like a tank!


Vote 285s if you don't mind trimming and cutting to avoid rubbing issues

 

2.5
I'm still on the stock dunlops so it looks weird

 

255/80/17 or 285/70/17 or 275/70/17

 

Damn I didn't even know there was a 255/80 haha I didn't even know of a 285/75/17

 

im not sure there is a 285/75/17, i could be wrong. i like the looks of 285's and am running them with my billies set to 2.5. no issues, even kept my mudflaps on.

 

I said 285/70/17

 

Yeah I saw the terra grapplers, they're pretty much 33's and I can get them cheaper then the 285/70's...awesome right?

My bad OZ, i meant they make a 75 series also

 

Do you notice any difference or loss in mpg/power/acceleration etc with the 285's? I have the stock 265s and looking to get the BFG AT 285s with Bilstein 5100s at 2.5" lift. Just trying to see if 275 or 285 would be better for my lift and application. haha

 

Look at my pics. I've got 285/70/17 BFG AT/KO's with 5100's at 2.5.

 

Looks good! I think Im gonna go with the 275 because they are $198 each online and I can get them installed for $60 so its a smokin deal plus I won't lose much mpg or torque with them. Id want a bigger lift with 285s. haha

 

Im considering 285/75/17, stock wheels, 5100's all around, 2.5 at front, stock rear, thoughts??

 

Can't say what the difference will be with 70 vs. 75 but with my set-up I did have to do a little trimming. There was a little rubbing but it was minimal. I'm in the process of getting new coils and dropping the 5100's down to .85 or possible 0 due to the ride quality. At 2.5 you will feel every crack in the road.
