265/70r17 or 285/70r17?

Wow, what a difference. Looks so nice, congrats my friend you've taken it up a notch. You must be stoked.

Pictures don't convey the difference in perceived "size"

That looks really good!

Just did a set of 4 ply Mickey Thompson Baja Boss AT’s for a customer. He has just a leveling kit, stock wheels, no spacers. Cleared perfectly with no rub.

Are those 285's in the standard load?

One consideration I haven't seen mentioned. If you mount the 285s and get rubbing at turn lock you may need to change the offset from stock 55 to 25. I switched to Icon wheels at the same time and they came with a 25 offset. We tow a 6K trailer off road and I frequently use every square inch of the traction that aired-down 285s provide. Here's a pic. I have an awesome video but can't get it to load properly (let me know if you can help).

My 285 70 17's (Toyo MT) on Method 703's with 0 offset rubbed on full lock. Had to remove crash bars, and black plastic waffle-looking piece from the rear of the front wheel wells. I think my MT's are more prone to rubbing compared to other tires of the same size. Pretty badass you're able to bring that trailer along on some trails.

Yes! I run them in 33x12.50r17 8 ply on my truck. The 8-10 ply mickeys will not fit without spacers due to the huge sidebiters on them.

Go with the 285s! I have a Bilstein level kit w/285/70R17 on stock wheels. They’re Mickey Thompson Baja Boss AT.

Did you have any rubbing anywhere??

So sorry for the delayed reply. No. Nothing else has been done to the truck.
