    I just installed the Pro Comp 3"/1" leveling kit on my 2012 Double Cab and am planning on getting getting 17x9's. I know 285/70/17 are a safe size, but what about 285/75s or even 33x12.5? I have no interest in spacers so please dont suggest them! :)

    Im not very knowledgable with Tires so any input would be worth alot to me! Thanks!

    All three sizes you suggest are basically the same size, check the tire caculater in search function

    FWIW I run 285/70/17 with very little probs

    your wheels also need to have the correct 4.5" backspacing, or else the new tires will rub the UCA and you wont be able to drive the truck. in that case, you would need spacers. there are also like no tire manufacturers that make 285/75/17's, but 285/70's and 33/12.5's should be rather easy to find. you will have to check with the tire makers as well on the 33 12.5's because they may say not to run them on anything skinnier than 10" wheels in which case most tire places wont put them on your 17*9s.. so now you see why most people just stay safe with 285/70/17's?
