I’ve been contemplating getting a larger size tire but didn’t want to take a hit on MPG’s. 285/70’s are a lot easier to find on marketplace from the Jeep guys going bigger than stock tires - so I might do it if I can find a good deal

That's pretty solid. What load rating are the tires?
They’re C rated, which in a comparable size like 285/70-17 (32.8) are 13lbs heavier per wheel in a E rated tire

This rig is a Toyotas of War Vibe. Looks great.
After spending a cumulative few years overseas, this was the look I hoped for lol
SPI? Im a big fan of steelies especially on a modern rig.
FJC Steelies widened to 17X9

Yeah SPI - I didn’t know you could widen the stock wheelies, what kind of shop will do that and how much? I’d love to have them at least 8.5”

That looks great! I need to look into that.

I think my tires could appreciate a slightly wider wheel. 
Did you take off the 255/80’s?

Yea, they cupped horribly. Probably my over aggressive driving. So far the REVO 3s are a way better match and even with an LT load range are almost as good as the All seasons on it when I bought it.
Still able to wheel everywhere else I was wheeling as I never really used the MT/Rs to their full potential.
I went with 285/70s and I am glad that I did.
They look sweet to me!
I can get you the contact info I’m warning you it’s expensive lol!
I probably could’ve bought a set of Volks for the cost but I prefer the look.
I’m from down there my brother is a fly fishing guide on Laguna.
I think the 285/75/17 tire size is A nice balance for a DD.
The Revo’s a great.
I’ve been contemplating 285’s, wish I would have went with those last fall
That’s crazy! Imma look into it at a couple shops here, any issue with balancing them?

They were all but hopeless in crazy mud, in every other situation, so far, they have been fine. NVH is almost non-existant. Good ride quality at 42 psi in front and 37 in back. Only get very light rubbing on trail.
