Default Any 1500 owner running 285/75/17

Came across this size 285/75/17, seems to be 34" tall and 11" wide only two makers it seems so far Nitto & Toyo. Just wondering if any one has this size on a new stock 1500 model, if they fit without rubbing.

Sure will. I have the Nitto Terra Grapplers 285/75/17 on my now "unleveled" trx-4 and they do not rub at all.

Hey thanks for the feedback, did you notice a considerable drop in MPG or sluggishness after installing them?

wouldnt think the truck will be sluggish with that size. that isnt a big enough increase to notice a power loss.

No sluggishness and my mpg stay at about 15mpg all town driving, goes up to 17 when I take highway trips, before it was 16/18. Of course my speedometer is off by about 4mph so I am not sure how that affects the calculations.

Can you post a picture of your truck with those tires? Your avatar pic looks good but it's really small.

I will try to get one up later, I drove my bike to work today. That picture is also before I took the leveling kit off.

I just stumbled across this thread, and was thinking of doing the same.

Could you please post some pics without the leveling kit?

Thanks.
