I’m looking at making my 2020 TRDP a little more like I always envisioned it. That primarily includes bumping tires to 285/70/17, adding a small lift to accommodate those tires and hopefully just keeping the OEM wheels. I understand that is not optimal given the 285 wheel specs, but plenty have done that without issue. I also live in FL where 4x4ing doesn’t involve any real articulation. Think mud, beat up roads and trails and thats about it.
A while back I bought the Eibach TRDP lift kit. It seemed to get solid reviews, just haven’t had it installed yet, but it’s what i plan on using.

The tires will probably be some BFG flavor, KO2’s or maybe something slightly more aggressive. Open to other options, but used them on my 13 Trail and they seemed to work well.
Given the above, curious as to any thoughts about that set up.
I haven’t ruled out new wheels entirely. I’d much prefer to save the money and just keep the OEM wheels, but there are others that have caught my attention. I had FN wheels on my Trail and they were fine, no issues, and i liked the look. I’d probably angle towards something like them again. These were the wheels i had on the Trail….(Six shooters)

Those were a simple swap from the OEM wheels, given i don’t know much about how wheel specs affect fit/ride and so on. That “plug & play” fit would be great with my Pro.
If i were to go with new wheels, I’m a little apprehensive as the specs of various wheels would need to match up correctly for things to not be wonky in some way. That’s part of the reason i want to keep the OEM Pro wheels.
I have my eye on a few other brands, but how they’ll actually fit my Pro is tough to nail down with any real confidence or certainty. This always brings me back to stuffing 285’s on my OEM wheels, at least in part.
Anyone deal with this (I’m sure I’m far from the first) and any feedback on any aspect of this plan of mine?
Thanks in advance, very much appreciated.
