Re: will 285/70-17 tires fit?

I am going with the 285s, I want the higher load range for a tougher tire. Will live the stiffer ride. I will let you know how they work!

I think my main concern is the combination of a larger diameter and a larger width. But I am not afraid to do a little trimming to make them work.
Yeah...no worries on the D sidwall. My last set, MT/R's were E's!! 80lbs. per tire. That was the only range available in the size I wanted, 245/75 16. Made for duelies. Was a pretty rough ride, but was nice when I loaded the Disco down, hooked up the camper, put all the kids, me and the wife and headed out. Rode pretty nice then

Oh...I had to do just a bit of trimming in the back and adjust the front steering stops when I upsized so I lost a bit of turning radius. Was well worth it.
