I would like to get a set of 285/70R17 and was wondering if they will fit on my stock 2015 1500 4x4. I will be getting a new set of rims as well. 17x8.5 0 offset. Eventually going to get the front leveled out.
Anyone do this? Any rubbing?

I ran 285/75r17 Toyo AT2 extremes on Method NV 17x8.5 with a zero offset for a year before getting leveled. No rubbing whatsoever for me

This is pre-level

Yes 285/70/17 is basically a 33" tire which is what comes on the 20" rims

Nice! I can't decide between the Method NV 305 Matt black or the Method 305 machined or even the double standard........I like them all!

How did you like those tires? Did you get good life out of them?

I am not a fan of chrome so I plasti dipped my bumpers and grille, have some vinyl that will cover the handles at some point this summer. Naturally, I had to go with the matte black and have received lots of compliments about them. The lady of the house really likes em too, so that's a bonus!

To answer you question about the tires, I love them.
Its my second set, had them on my old Sierra and then it was the first thing I bought when I got the truck.
I cant use em in AK winters because at -40 the rubber compound gets too hard, and since I have a nasty hill and driving in winter is essentially driving on an ice rink.
Other than that, they wear down evenly, relatively quiet on hwy considering the size, easy to balance, and handle exceptionally well for an AT off road.
In the spring and summer i treat my truck like an ATV, so these tires get beat up pretty good
