Hi everybody, I hope I don't live up to my screenname. I've been lurking FOREVER (Dec. '03), but never had anything to say. Thanks for all the tips and advice!
Anyhow, I have been watching, and although the 'what size tire can i fit on my stock rims' questions have been flogged to death, it seems that my particular configuration has not been addressed.
In other words, can I fit the 285/65/18 TA-KOs on my truck ('04 screw, 2WD) without a leveling kit?

1st post here, in fact, anywhere ever! Whew!

 

I believe we have a member who has run 285's with a leveling kit on a 4x2, but I don't think anyone has tried it without any lift. Personall, I think they would look much better with a 2 or 2.5 inch leveling kit.

 

I would love to see some pics of that config! I'm toying with the idea of a 2" leveling kit and biggers tires. I think Nitto makes a 285/60/19 Terra Grappler. I think that would look pretty good on my 2wd.

 

Get a leveling kit. That would to stuffed. As a matter of fact I have 33s on my 2wd and I think it looks to stuffed.

 

exactly!

ok if your going to get bigger tires on a 4x2 dont go any bigger than 265 70 17! With that combo on a 4x2 it makes your truck look great! it doesnt look too stuffed like some people are having to deal with on their 285's. I have 265's with 17 inch rims and it looks great, any bigger would look bad. Even with a leveling kit i would not go any bigger then 265's unless your going with i would say 3 inches all around.
