Tire size w/ lift

So I've got the 3" OME springs in front and some LC 7.75/8 wrap coils in back. I'm thinking about going up in tire size. Wondering what my options are?

I have the tundra 17" rims. Currently running 265/65r17 I think.

Would a 285 fit?

Oh, forgot to mention that I have the sport edition w/ hood scoop & what I think are the SR5 flares & running boards. (Or are they the limited flares?)

You can fit 285s on a stock truck but be prepare to start making 14 point turns everywhere you go lol.
 
Cody's right - with those rims and the 285 tire, you'll have some rubbing issues I believe, but you should be able to trim and/or bang your way out of it I would imagine.
 
Ok. I'll have to check it out. I'd like to run something a little bigger. The current 265/65/17's look a little small with the lift. I'll check some out. I just didn't want to order some and be stuck with them if they were going to rub horribly.
 
You could also go for the middle ground and get 275/70/17's. They are right in the middle of 265/70/17's and 285/70/17's. You might not lose as much power and retain a little better mileage. Only downside is there is a limited selection of tires offered in that size. I wish they made that size for a 16" rim as it would be perfect IMO.
 
I've been thinking the same thing. Measures out to a 32x11 vs 33 x 11.5?

Looked a few options up on google.
Cooper ATR or AT3 (never run them but see them on a lot of SUV's around town (price?),
Mastercraft courser AT & courser C/T (anyone know anythng about these?),
Hancook dynapro ATM (I can get these at a good price)
BFG All Terrain TA KO's (good tire but a bit more expensive why do these show "not rated for severe snow?? seems odd),
Goodyear MT/R with kevlar (spendy and don't seem to be rated as well as the BFG's)
Goodyear Silent Armor (another good option for a little lower price vs. the BFG's)

Anyone have experience with these tires? I need a good snow tires first and formost. I have the Firestone destination AT right now. It does fine but seems to be more of an all season than an AT. I go off roading some but not crazy aggressive. To some extent it is about the look of the tire too. These Firestones look very soccer-mom'sh. :-0

I've heard both Coopers are good and the Hankook's have been getting really good reviews. I'd go with those or the BFG's. If you can get the Hankooks for a good price I would go for it.
