and for reference a 285 is not to narrow for a 9" rim

This looks great, glad to see the 285/70r17 fits the 17x9 wheel. Would you go with the same size or get something wider if you did it again? If you have any pictures of the wheels/tires from an angle I'd love to see it.

I'm still between 33x12.5r17 and 285/70r17. Seems everyone has a different thought on what fits a 17x9 wheel lol.

I am perfectly pleased with my current setup. I didn't go wider because I don't like a lot of "poke". I also don't need mudflaps. I think the 9 inch wide rim pushes it out just far enough.

Hey @Discount Tire .. Offtopic but since you're here, the guys at my local DT had to change my Bronco into a Jeep Wrangler so the system would allow them to order me 37's.. Is that still a thing??

This basically settles it for me, 285/70r17 it is. Additional benefit is I can get them in load range C instead of E which anything wider seems to be.

I'm nit sure why that would be a necessary thing to do in this case. I'd like to dig a little deeper into this. DM coming your way.
