Anybody have pictures with 285's or 33" tires mounted?

[bpl09]

I am putting RB 2.5 inch spacers on this week (front and back) and I am trying to decide on tire size. 265's look great but I'd like to see how 285's would look without a body lift. So if you have pictures, please post em. Thanks

they will fit but you better be prepared for trimming...roadbully had a pic with 285's with either just a bl or his spacers...ill see if i can locate that pic

Well 33" will rub big time this is 33" with only RB lift.

will 285's rub with just the body lift?

what about stock 285's? not too wide, regular terrain

stock 285's?

what the hell?

a 285-75-16 is roughly 33 x 11.50
a 305-70-16 is roughly 33 x 12.50

yes... someone (i think guitarfrk) had 285's with a 3 inch body lift and he had to trim to get them to fit

stock 285's, like you would find on an f150 or bigger truck. not wide off roading tires.

dumb ass.

.....auburn fan......

whoooaaaaa chillout...

considering that this is an explorer forum, when the word "stock" appears, we tend to think of 235s or 245s.

and i think the point that auburnfan was trying to get across is that 285s will be the same width whether the tire is regular terrain or mud terrain since 285 is the measurement in millimeters from sidewall to sidewall

so i went out and got the 265's today becasue i didn't want to mess with the trimming and now i'm wishing i'd have gotten the 285's lol. Guess thats what happens when you are indecisive.
