Finally got it leveled, any objections to running 285-75-17s?

Would look better with a little more tire with a little more aggressive tread. Doesn't look bad though. Next time you get them rotated you should turn the whitewall in.

Upsize. I have the same keys and spacers and ran those with no problems now my XD's rubbed a little but they are way wider and black side wall only on some mud tires would look sweet IMO.

I'd go with 305/70 instead of 285, will be nice and thick. If you look at craigslist there's a few post of some in br used.

Turning the white lettering in involves completely remounting the tire on the rim not just rotating which is significantly more expensive than its worth.

The 305 will drop your mileage even more than a 285, I run 285/75R16s and they are plenty beefy with keys and spacers. I can still get 16-17MPG

I was saying to do it while his tires are being rotated to kill two birds with one stone if he wanted the white walls in. The cost is a matter of opinion.

I drive like a granpa and get 16. Made ONE WOT pass on my last trip and got 15.5 ha.
I never go over 1800 rpms.
Thats with 285/70
I'd go 305/70 you won't regret it even with the .5 mpg (if that) decrease from 285. Well worth it when you look at how thick the rubber is.
