Fitting 285s?

I had a chance to get it for that price so I went with it haha

 

because it depends on the tires and alignment. different tires, even though they are all 285/70/17 can have very different outer diameters and widths. also the wheels make a huge difference, lift, alignment, etc.

be prepared to do CMC and trim fenders if you go with 285s. if you are going to off road, its pretty much guaranteed

 

Guess I better prepare to break some more bread. Truck Shop in SD already charging arm and a leg to install my lift.

 

my cmc was 285, they did a great job and also cut out some of fenders and used heat gun

 

You guys covered it!
If OR- cmc, trim and smack those 285's in there!
I was also given the advice to do the lift, cmc, wheels and tires at the same time. I got excited and pieced it. Ended up going bigger with the tires...don't do what I did...a waste of time and mula

Load your truck up with mod parts and do it all at once!

 

I had a 2.5" lift on mine and 285's. I had trim a little piece of plastic and that's it.

Yes, they even cleared off road and no rubbing.

It's all in the wheels and the alignment.

 

Crossing my fingers that will be my case. If not, I'm slowly starting to accept that a few "chopping" mods will be made.

 

Good luck!

If you end up doing the cmc yourself it suuuuuucks. Previous gens were so much easier.

With my new setup I've had to a major cmc and it still rubs enough to stop the truck. Haha

 

Damn, what the hell you running?

 

35's on a 2.5" lift.

 

Lol, pics?

 

And the tires themselve nowadays.
285's are not the same across the board.

 

35s are for parking lots

 

lmfao at that snorkel

 

Anything else?

The bed rack is kind of dumb too.

 

It's all about the offset, need to push the wheels out.

 

Because of the ray10 offset, you will very likely have to do a good bit of trimming for 285s.

This is with ray10s, duratracs, icons.

 

Pushed out wheels can actually increase rub. It may push off the control arm and the cab mounts, but too much (e.g., ray10s) will place the edge of the tire right on the fender well in full lock unfortunately...

 

Totally agree, throw that shit away. I'll PM you an address you can send for disposal.
