The weight is a huge thing but I went nuts anyway, my wheels/tires will be 22% heavier than stock. That being said I ordered the C load Wildpeaks and they have 18.5/32nds of tread which should help with tread wear.

If I don't like them I'll just buy something different next time. I'll be flashing my tune soon after install so not sure I'll notice too much.
from what i've read from other threads on here, most guys that tune post-285's and run premium get the MPGs back. Which I'll be honest, is most likely what's going to happen to my truck LOL. I have a company f150, so my ranger sits for minimum 5 days a week.. just not trying to run around getting 15 mpg, ya know?

This is where I am at as well. Bouncing between different wheels right now AS WELL as tires. The only 285's I've found that aren't incredibly heavy (IE- an LT) are Standard Load (P)-rated Falken Wildpeak AT3W's, Toyo Open Country AT2's and Nitto TerraGrappler G2s.

I'm hoping the offset in weight wont crush fuel as much. 265 Falkens weigh 46.5lbs and the P285's weigh 50.5. So many variables... so little time...

Have you looked at the BFG K02? They are one of the lightest LT tires in a 285 weighing in at 51 lbs.

Honestly if your worried about MPG don't lift a truck and on top of that put bigger tires that also weigh more. You ether lift it and don't worry or keep it stock and try to drive the best you can to maximize mpg.

Appreciate the input. Not super concerned, coilovers+UCA's are currently all stacked in my second bedroom waiting for install, i've already committed to the lift LOL.

-12 mm offset
Ooh, how wide of a wheel? Love the look. Took a pic of an F150 with the same wheels at the dealership while I was there sropping my wife's truck off and it was sharp. I was concerned-12 offset would push too far past the fenders.

Can I also get a pic from the front or fender shots showing how far they stick out?

Can you share fender shots to see how much poke you have with that setup? Was one of the wheels I really liked.
Best I can do looking through my photo folder. Basically with 0+ offset wheels the sidewall pokes out, but the tread appears to be inline with the fender flare.

How wide are the wheels themselves at 0 offset? And what flares? I forgot those probably help a little. They aren't the largest flare.

Thanks for such a quick reply.
