Patiently waiting...

Sorry i totally forgot to post pictures, I just took these pictures outside of work but I will take better pictures and better angles later and post. Not really sure how to post pictures on here so I just posted them to my profile then put the link below.

Looking good Engineer. Wheel wells pretty much filled out with those tires. Make sure to post later how it rides and if you have issues with rubbing.

Agree they look great. I'm about due new tires and have a similar level on a '14. Very curious about rubbing as well as hitting inner fenders when going over speed bumps etc

Other tires im considering are the KO2 285/65/20 and Duratrac 285/60/20 (which I've had for the last 60,000 miles)

The tires do rub the sway bar at full lock and i trimmed the inner fender so i haven't had any issues with it scrubbing there. I have gone over plenty of speed bumps and never had any issues there, I have also been up to my hunting camp and went down some mild dirt roads with no issues. Ride quality is not quite as smooth as a highway tire but that was expected, i am 100% happy with the decision. These are 11.50 wide though, if i would have went 12.5 wide the only difference would have been the tires would have hit the sway bar sooner. Next time i buy tires i probably will just go with a 35x12.5 just because there are a lot more tire options.

Could you post some pictures of the trimming you had to do on the inner fender liner?

Thank you for posting results, because of you I have made a decision on my tire size. Thanks again!

Do you have a tune? The only reason I got 33s is because I was told 35s would kill my 3.43 rear end. How's the loss off power?

JayTee,

Currently I don't have a tune, I have not noticed any major loss of power. I highly doubt you will see a big difference between your 33's and a 35. I know a couple of people running 35's with the same rear end and they have not had any issues. Let me know if you have anymore questions and Skennel I will try and post some pics of the trimming as soon as i can.

Would love to see some side shots as well....
