My brothers 01 had 35" bfg mt without a lift at all, I also have 315's bfg at on my truck.
Neither one rubbed unless you cut your wheel all the way to the left, then the edge of the tire will contact your lower control arms.

But a 285 will look good without all the rub

i have 33x12.5 on the same 17" stock rims you bought and no rub. i had it turned hard both ways and no problem. like you, i don't do much off roading. mine is a 2000 1500 off-road package.

No hate intended to anyone, haha. Was just making a "point and laugh" remark.

Default Should I go bigger

I just got some 275/70r17 BFG ko2. I was wondering if those would look to small. I just have a lift a 2.5 leveling kit. I'm waiting for them to come in. Should I swap them out for 285?
