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.
