5 reason why I picked 275/70/15 tire.

Your right I said negative and meant positive offset. It rubs on the mud flap.

 

Just put those on two weeks ago. Only had to"modify" the skid pan a bit. 285/70/18.

 

OMG THIS LOOKS GREAT!!! This is on factory suspension?

 

Agreed. Looks fantastic. I'm also curious, profile seems to indicate it may not be factory.

 

I think you and i are thinking the same thing

 

I have 2" front spacer. The air bags in back lift it maybe an inch from stock.

 

Just priced those tires. Ouch!!!

 

My set should be arriving tomorrow, Falken AT3W’s with Vision Nemesis wheels in gunmetal. Gonna kill me waiting until Sunday to get them on, but I’ll be posting pics when they are on, running 5100’s on mid setting up front, nothing in the rear.

 

I really like the 285/70/18 tire. However this starts to push you to more issues to deal with. Cost wise this size is pretty expensive and choices are limited, maybe tire manufactures will start to give us more options. Power, speedo and transmission shifting are affected more than the 275/70/18. For the money the 275/70/18 can't be beat. The only thing that kept me from buying 285/70/18 was cost, I purchased my Cooper 275/70/18 AT3 XLT's for $710 on sale, pretty good value for a decent size tire that looks better in person than pictures show. That being said I may go bigger when my current tires need to be replaced.

 

Being on the island of Hawaii the in between stock and 35"s are hard to find. Most people here put a 6 or more inch lift and 35s or bigger. Then they lose turning radius, have issues because of the lift, etc. I used to run 275/70/18 bfg at KO2 they cost more than the ridge grappler I put on. BFG KO doesn't have 34" from them.
If I was in the mainland I'd go cheaper tires like a Cooper tire with less tread depth but the cold lava here rips them apart. All the off-road roads here are lava so no way around it.
