They look stuffed for 285's even tho you have a 4x4. I have 285 nitro trial grapplers and I think I could easily go bigger.

that picture makes them look bigger then they are because they don't look stuffed in person. I've always felt the super crew bodies sit higher then regular or extended cabs. At least it seems like it so that might explain idk. But supposedly there's all kinds of guys running 35s on stock lifts or even just torsions cranked on these trucks. I've seen a few threads about it. But I feel like that looks stupid because that's really stuffing it!

Yeah it's like how a truck should be lol. My wheels are what I refer to as "the rich idiot guy's wheel". Not meant badly but when you have the showy wheels people will look at you weird if you say it is a work truck lol.

i got 285 blizzack snow tires on my rig and I don't think they looked stuffed. Probably was just the angle.

ya I love the 285. My next set will probably be a true 33-12.5 but it's not a ton of a difference
