3'' Lift with 265/70r17 Pic request

[steve73]

I went through every page in the lift thread with no luck.
Can someone post a picture of a 3'' lift with 265's.

The reason is that is just got 5 new 265's BF AT's. I did not want to do
any lifts.That lasted about 2 weeks and the more I read on here the more I know that it is time .

just would like to see how it looks porportionaly.

because i don't really want to spend the $$$ on 285's unless I have too.

I had the same problem with finding pics, but just went for it. I still have stock rubber on mine, but will almost certainly retain stock size when I upgrade.

That actually looks alot better than I thought it would.

Thanks brother....I used to live out in Lanark county...ever hear of Perth?

For what it's worth I 've always thought TEs looked OK with smaller tires/ lifts. SR5s......not so much. Just my opinion.

(Talking about US SR5s)

Well I'm glad I've got a TE

You missed mine then.

I think it looks fine, and could care less what others think. I am not a fan of the 285 tire size. Too wide for me. I might grab a set of the KM2 255/80/17s for next season, but am fine with what I have.

They are stock size. I won't say they "look better" than a similar set of 285s, but they certainly drive better for me. We all love beefy looking tires, and I think the DuraTrac's aggressive aesthetics help pull off the stock size with lift.

No problem! I am familiar with Perth, I have a cottage north of Kaldar off Kashawakamak Lake

I agree with the comment that TEs (and therefor Canadian SR5s) look decent with smaller wheels, the trim on the US SR5s and LEs doesn't lend itself as well to that look though

I'm a perfectionist, so upsizing wheels would mean putting a speedohealer or similar in. Alos not crazy about the MPG loss either. So far I've lost about 5% fuel efficiency from the lift, 285s might be another 5-10%. Also I completely agree that a more aggressive tire "looks" bigger than the POS stocks, so I imagine your BFGs will look better than my current setup

that's good to see. I think the aggressive tread makes a bigger difference than just a larger tire. combined, looks even better, but ATs/MTs alone make a nice imporvement.
