@Jbird, Thanks for the feedback and the photo; your Hoe looks great...

Check out my threads. I have run both the 33x12.50 toyo MTs and the 285s. Granted they were on 22s but they are the same size tire. The 33s didn't scrub a bit with a 2.25" ready lift, no lift in the rear. I later found a set of 285 Terra grapps and like them even more. I am currently running them on my new truck as well.

@02Burgundybeast- Is there a reason you prefer the 285's over the 33's? Could you tell the 1/2" difference by looking at the tire?

The 285s look taller and ride considerably better. I did add wheel spacers to my current truck to widen the stance, but on my 07 Denali they looked perfect. The 33s were wider but I was looking for more sidewall and not so much on the width. MPGs were basically the same. I never tracked it but I could get ~300 miles to a tank.

@02Burgundybeast- Great, thanks for the solid feedback! Sounds like the 285's are the better deal as they are slightly cheaper than the 33's as well.

Thanks again!

This shows the comparison. You will be running a 20 and I was running a 22.

3" level up front, 2" in rear, 305/55r20 with 2" wheel spacers on stock wheels
no rubbing (with lots of trimming)
I have the new upper control arms and Bilstein 5100s already, just need time to install and align.

 

[02Burgundybeast]

Lots of trimming because of those wheel spacers.
