Has anyone tried the toyo at 285 75 r17 (34.1" tall 11.5" wide) on a NBS 2500HD? I am considering these vs the 285 70 r17 because of the extra height. I need some feedback on if these will work with the tbars cranked up.

Thanks

Did you not get enough responses to your thread a month or two back? You'll probably have to do a little trimming since it's the equivalent of a 305/75R16. This link here (http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/showthread.php?t=91242) says what you need for larger tire sizes to eliminate any rubbing. It's at the very top of the "Wheels & Tires" section for easy access...

It will rub. My 285/70/17 will rub at hard lock w/ a little bit of compression.

Yeah, it will rub. How much depends on your wheels' offset and backspacing. I had to cut away quite a bit of wheel well shield, and my 285 70 17 Maxxis tires are just under 33" tall. They still rub a tiny bit occassionally when backing up and turning.

What size tire did you end up with?

I just mounted up 285/75/17 nitto dura grapplers on H2s. I cranked the tbars 4 turns and they still rubbed a good bit. I had to trim about an inch off the front bumper and about 6" off the rear fender liners. It was still close at the rear fender mount area so I took a BFH and took care of that pretty well.

Hey DBN107 any pictures of your setup? I am looking at going with the same tires as you but different rims. Just trying to figure out how much needs to be trimmed.

yeah ill try and post some tomorrow, I'm out of town until tomorrow but I'll get some shots.

They will work.. i have them on my truck... stock t bars cranked to 1.5 inches and some trimming

I've got the 275's on 18's, seen to be doing fine! Already trimmed up though!
