285/75r17 with 2.25” Lift Question

Hey All!

I have a stock 2015 SR5 that I just picked up a set of Bilstein 5100’s for. The struts are set to the highest setting for 2.25” of lift. I’m running airbags in the rear and should be about level.

I’d like to get some new wheels when I get my new set of tires and here’s what I’m thinking:

Wheels (Method 703 Bronze 17x8.5, +35 offset, 5x150): https://www.methodracewheels.com/co...ucts/703-method-bronze?variant=39290141605949

Tires (BF Goodrich AllTerrain KO2 285/75r17): These are about equivalent to a 33.8” x 11.2” tire.

I’m hoping someone out there is running a similar setup and can tell me if they think it’ll work? I don’t want to do a body chop (no metal cuts), but would be okay bending or moving some plastic pieces.

Thoughts?

For additional reference, with stock suspension, I am running Goodyear Wrangler AT 275/65r18 tires and come close to rubbing on the front bumper but not in the rear against the cab/frame (at least an inch of clearance).

Thanks everyone!

 

I think you're gonna be fine with just some minor plastic pushing modding and removing your flaps. Plus 35 tucks in nice and should help with the rubbing.

 

Make sure that you will clear the upper control arms with the tire width at that offset.

 

He will be fine with 285's, I'm currently on a plus 35 wheel with 37x12.5's and have plenty of clearance with the stock UCA!
