Looking for pictures of LMM trucks with 285/70x17 tires on stock & aftermarket wheels. Really want the Michelins but not sure of the look. But they are awesome tires.

Here are the only pics I have from right after I bought it, not the greatest, but let me know if you have any questions. Also before I had the leveling kit installed.
Hope it helps.

Trent, your truck looks great!! What tires are you running? Could you tell me what offset, size and brand wheels you are running.
I have the exact same truck as yours except that mine is a GMC. You have done alot of things to your truck that I would love to do to mine so I probably will have some more questions.:)
Did you have to run the leveling kit and did you have to do any trimming? Did it change the ride at all?
Thanks
Rick

Hey thanks Rick,
The tires in the pic are goodyear wrangler 285/70-17s, and I drive gravel, tow about 2 times a week, and drive plenty of highway and I really like them, they were the 3rd set of goodyears I have ran in the past few years. I actually sold my wheels/tires to a buddy who wanted them, and I am getting something different now.
The rims are diamo 17 karat's, they were 17x10's with a 5" backspacing and -12 offset, I ran it without the leveling kit for a few months with the torsion bars turned up quite a bit, I never did any trimming but on the back side of the front fenders, they did rub a bit when turned all the way. I put in a readylift leveling kit, with the shock extenders and it did ride a bit better, it wasn't as rough and choppy like it was with the factory tbars cranked. Let me know if you have any other questions and I'll try and help ya out, I ordered some 18's this time, but the tire height and witdth is almost identical, I will post some pics up when I put them on.
