    Hey gang,

    I am driving a 2019 TRD sport DCLB, currently on 265/70R17 KO2's with 17x9 Fuel offroad kicker 6's. I am planning on lifting the truck in the spring (3" lift) and have a slight concern that the tires are going to look very awkward and small. Just wondering if there will be any issues upgrading to a 285/70R17 and keep my same rims still! Any advice would be appreciated!

    17×9 is fine for those tires. The offset (+alignment) is what will decide if and where you rub.

    Yes, you can swap to bigger tires and keep your wheels. You may want spacers or wheels with more offset, going taller without going at least a little wider doesn't look too great, at least in my opinion.
