Yep, @kreiten used to run that size on +20 offset wheels. Check out the earlier posts in his build thread. I think he had BFG M/T's because there were very few tires in that size at that time.
My 285/75/R17 are basically identical (within 0.1") so my experience should approximate what you'll find as well if you run factory wheels and 1.25" wheel spacers.
Anyway those will fit the rear wheel well fine, spacers or not. It's only the front where you'll have to do some work
When is this happening? Want moar pictures!
I’m going to pull the trigger on something within the next couple of weeks, and I’m likely going to go with the Iron Man foam cell stage two at the same time. Since my wife will be occasionally driving this truck, I don’t want to build it too tall or big.
Anyone else have a wife that is 5 foot three and running 3 fours with a 2 inch lift?
My wife does not like getting in my 62 series, nor did she like getting in my 80 series with 4 inch lift and 35s even with sliders…
LOL
Yes. She claims 5'3" but I think that's a stretch... more like 5'2".
Same lift and tire height so yeah pretty comparable situation. Until recently the truck was her DD. We finally got a second vehicle so she uses that around town now while the weather is good, though I expect she'll revert to the truck when it starts snowing again. Good sliders are necessary. The main hassle is getting crap in and out of the trunk as you end up adding several inches to the ass-end of the rig which makes the split tailgate really get in the way (even for me, honestly).
Until I get sliders I will be certainly keeping the running boards!
I may get flamed for saying this, because it is a polarizing subject, but I wish BFG made a K02 in the size
I see that BFG makes a 295/70/18
Doo eet!
The 200-series is fully capable of that size. Use +28-35 offset. You've got the gearing and brakes already in place for it with a 2016 model. Will want to use sport mode to keep it under 7th gear, and maybe add a sport brake compound. Then KDSS relocation, some minor massaging of body seams and plastics. Maybe a light BMC or just pull the tire forward ever so slightly with UCAs.
Taco's and 4Rs run these sizes all day, and it's even easier on the 200-series.
I'm running those in a 285/70/17 on Rock Warriors now. I want something more aggressive looking which is why I'm looking at the Nittos.
Looks like they have a KO2 295/70 in a 17.

So does Nitto in their new Recon Grappler.
If you’re willing to make it work, it likely can. Everything has its trade offs though.
From a distance..

How much preload up front and which springs in the rear?
Just got the KO3s... They look much better in person! They are quiet and fit just right (I already had pushed fender liner forward and trimmed mud-flaps a few years ago...)

I put KO3 285/70/18s on about five months ago on my 2013 and have been very happy with them. FYI, I have a 2” OME lift with spacers. These tires are awesome.
