I recently bought a new truck and was not aware that NC did safety checks as well as emissions (just moved to the state). I knew i was gonna need new tires but was gonna wait a year or so, well the truck failed inspection and i ended getting 4 new firestone destination A/T 285/70/17.....im just worried if they will make the truck look like a sad attempt to upgrade? I think it might help and also looks good when the tires stick out a little past the fender...is that tire size or a spacer of some sort??

Wouldn't want you to feel ignored, Alex. The two pictures I see are kinda dark and I really can't see the tires well (maybe it's just my eyesight).

But, if YOU'RE happy with them, that's all that matters!

what pictures????

 

To make a tire stick out past the fender, yes you can put spacers in there (not adviced) but it has more to do with what width of tire/rim combo you have. Like my rims are 17x9 and my tires are 35x12.5 so they stick out slightly from my fender but not too terribly much.

 

Yeah i need to put new pics up....The tires arent actually on the truck yet im getting them installed on Mon. , thats why im worried about it.

 

It'll be fine. 285's aren't a bad option for someone not wanting to lift their vehicle to fit bigger tires. Honestly when I get my new truck (looking at 06's-08's) I'm just going to put a leveling kit on and whatever tire I can fit. I've been looking at tires and I don't want to put MT's on again because I have a ton of highway driving ahead of me the next 2 years so I need a highway tire with aggresive tread and I haven't really found a tire tread I like that isn't a MT, toyo AT's are alright. But you'll be fine!

 

My winter shoes are 285x70x17 BFG All Terrain KO's! I love them on the truck!.....

 

Yeah ive got a leveling kit and im pretty sure it will fit 35's =...but i wasnt planning on spending money this soon on tires so im kinda in a bind, but it sounds like i will be alright..thanks for the advice

 

Welcome to NC. The second suckiest state in the Union behind California.
