Got new 285/70/17 Falken wildpeaks. Who has this size?

Thank you for your support, JC - we greatly appreciate!

 

How about a pic of the finished product

 

After all the researching of tires I'm convinced the Wildpeaks are for me. Can i ask if there were any modifications to your suspension. If so please share as I'm trying to budget my mods and really do not want any major surprises . From what I've been told a 2" leveling kit would suffice. Thanks in advance. And yes pics would help greatly .

 

Did you get them mounted up yet? Curious about the looks between load range E and SL. Finally bought mine through discount tire and got them mounted yesterday.

 

The SLs basically look like a slightly worn down LT. The only visible difference is the tread depth.

Good to know! I wouldn't be able to tell the difference if it wasn't pointed out to me. It'll be interesting to see how these do in the snow since I'm running load range SL now. We sometimes get snow in the city and then there's quite a bit of snow when I go snowboarding up in the mountain. I had 2 sets of BFG KM2s Load range E before this and got close to 100k miles total (about 50-55k each set).

 

I just put on BFG KM2s 285/70/17, love the way they look and ride but I can’t get close to full lock without bad rubbing. I have a 2 inch rough country leveling kit and the tire guru thought I would not have any issues but he was mistaken. What is the easiest solution, 1” spacers, can’t afford a suspension lift, just ordered a new bumper and winch, any suggestions???

 

We would have to know where you are rubbing.

 

I believe the piece is called a cross member, it’s the closest piece to the front wheels between the tire and the suspension. No fender rub yet, I went by a 4x4 shop and was told 1.25” spacer would work but may have to do some trimming. The stock wheels is the problem with running these size tires I believe but we ordered the spacers for the front only so will find out tomorrow. I just had it aligned a couple of weeks ago after installation of the leveling kit so I hope I don’t have to do that again
