285 on 17x9 wheel lift or level

Thanks for the reply's, I do have 1.50 inch spacers on there know, as well as a 3 inch suspension lift, what would be a good size to compliment the lift without any mods and keep the stock rims

 

Without cutting anything, 265/70/17 If you are willing to do what I already outlined, then 285/70/17

 

My stocks are 17's, not 16's, the tires on there know are 265/65/17

 

Ok, thanks

 

What a shame about the Gauntlets. Good looking rims.

 

I have the same question too...

I want to run 285s when my tires run out, got 17x9 4.5 BS -12 mm offset on my rims. I have 1.75 in the front with 5100's, nothing in the back...

What's the best overall way to go if I wanna run 285s without buying too many extra parts?

 

Put the 5100's to 2.5" and start trimming away.

 

Would I have to do a cab mount chop? How much fender would I have to trim?

And how much lift should I get in the back?

 

Maybe, depends, and 1.5" for level, 2" for rake

 

I have a 2.5 level up front and with a bit of plastic chopping and mud flap removal I was able to stuff 285/75s under there... on wheels with 3.75 BS no less. So from everything I've seen and read on here, it's just a matter of trying to fit them and see what you gotta do to make it work. but so far for me, no cab mount chop.

(stocks were 265/70/17)

 

You should note the width of the new wheels. That has just as much to do with how much they stick out as the backspacing does.

 

I looked at my truck and at 1.75 right now for some reason I am very very slightly lower in the front still. The rear is all stock mind you, no lift there. So if I bumped up to 2.5 what would I put in the back to keep it level? There aren't any half inch AAL from what I have seen... Maybe get a top plate spacer then get an AAL?
