I don't have any pics if my old truck but I ran 285 Mastetcraft Courser A/T and Toyo Open Country A/T and never had a problem.

I want to put something larger on my truck than the 235/80R17. I dont know what to put on it though. I dont want mud tires but would like to have an all terrain tire.



I think my truck would look better with larger tires. dont you guys think so? I really would like to have 22.5's but cant afford those!

Any suggestions would be very helpful. I drive on the road mostly and tow alot (32'cargo trailer & 28' gooseneck)

i run toyos 285s 75s with a 2" spacer and it doesn't look bad but that is my opinion.

have any of u guys ever heard of new hips that stick out farther than the stock hips? that would be awesome to solve this problem. They say they are fiberglass.

I would like to see more pictures of duallies with larger tires but no lift kit.

ok well after lastnight sitting up and thinking about it i dont want the 265s so this morning i called NTB talked to the manager and told him the deal , and he said he knew i wasnt happy and sence i spend somuch money with them he would switch them out i ordered and overnighted the 2 inch spacers so i will have the 285s tomorrow, but i have to say the mic AT2s are a damn good tire best riding tire ive ever had on a truck bar none wish they made them in a 285 in an e load,but anyways im going with the nitto terra grappler , and i dont know why they dont fit without spacers trust me i tryed for 3 hour to get them to fit

I ran 315/70/17's on my rig with just a two inch leveling kit and a two inch spacer in between the rear duals. I will see if I can get a picture up for you.
