No problems at all, other than the need for a leveling kit... The sidewall proportion is very nice, but the gap between the front fender and top of tire is too low for a 4WD IMO.
I thought about a leveling kit, but decided against it after reading about all the issues with vibration in 4wd, etc. So do you think I need the leveling kit for aesthetic reasons or mechanical? I just want to make sure they won't rub on or damage anything without the leveling kit.
Yeah I know, I'm cheap I guess. I just don't really want to buy the leveling kit unless I have to. I also like the look of these trucks with some rake.
jrtx..he is only talking about "looks" in his personal opinion. as i posted above. 285/65/20 will fit with no rubbing on a stock suspension 4x4. search it in this forum. it has been asked a million times...
Saw that size on a truck today....on the driver's inside fender on the 2010 anyways...there is a little bump that sticks out on the back side of the well liner and I could see that this size tire was rubbing on that piece...and that was with a clean tire! I for this reason do not believe that this size tire is rub free without a level or lift.
As a result..I would not go with the "it should fit", "it'll fit", etc. unless the person has the exact set up you are looking for....this size without a lift or level as that is the only way to tell...but I know what I saw today...cheers.....no offense to anyone...just trying to help this guy not getting into something he does not want...
