Truck looks awesome. Are those still the 285/75/17 Toyo's on the new wheels? Your running stock suspension correct?

That's correct, I'm running 285/75/17's with the stock suspension. I had a hard time deciding between 35x12.50's and the 285/75's, but with this setup I can still run tire chains on all four tires without worrying about rubbing at full lock.

Could you snap a pic down the side from straight on?

I am running the same tires on my '13 CTD and considering the AEV Katlas. Wondering how much they will stick out.

I don't currently have any flares so that might be required.

I can do one better than that- here's a before and an after. They stick out a pinch more, but not a ton with the stock Power Wagon flares.

That is perfect. Thanks. :victory:

I think I could prob get away without adding flares if I stuck with the 285/75/17's.

So I know I have about the most boring build thread here, but I thought I’d throw these here anyway. I had to swap out tires, and went with the Cooper Discoverer AT3 XLT’s in a 285/75/17. Cooper claims the AT3 285/75/17 is a 33.82x11.50 tire. My rough-ish measurements show it’s pretty close.0BFB18D3-CE84-4DCB-B836-7498E001362A.jpeg30D45FBA-2F65-40BA-A015-D2B75DBFDD26.jpeg57190582-9BDD-40AB-A063-42268E117FA1.jpeg2A3D343A-25C5-4D94-B476-598D2210AB7C.jpeg9112DB47-EC5C-4CA0-8A29-6AB3BC4DFDE5.jpeg
