285/75/17s on a Black Diamond NON Sasquatch?

[alexryer]

Where did you get the chrome bronco script for the fender ?

I ordered it from Bronco Depot, it arrived quickly and was beautifully made - perfect finish and 3M adhesive back. It looks like their website is down or relaunching - you could try emailing [email protected]

When I ordered it was the only game in town but now I see lots of knockoffs on Amazon, Etsy, etc.

Toyo AT3 - 285/75R17 with stock Hitachis - no need to remove crash bars (for street use anyhow). I cranked the wheel in all directions and there is full clearance. Bilsteins are going on next week - but I figured I would post this for comparison.

I wanted the 285/75-17 for the height (33.9 x 11.2) and C load range.
EVERYTHING was back ordered for months.
I started looking at other sizes....same back order issues.
Then, 5 of the 35 X 11.5 x 17 Toyo AT3 showed up on Summits web site ... dude , I jumped on them so fast!!! LOL
They are load range C also.
I figured I could live with the extra .6" of height.
Manage to score my Methods pretty quick too, they had just been released in my color and offset. (17 x 8.5 ... +35mm)

Base non-Squatch NO LIFT

Sweet! My Base is arriving next week and I can't figure out which wheel to go with. Those 703's? My Base is EG so thinking matte black is the way to go.

Yep, 703s , gloss titanium.
The 285/75-17 is probably better than the 35's ... the 35s are a shade too tall for 4.46.
If it were my daily driver, I'd strongly consider 33's in a SL load range.
Probably the perfect tire for 4.46s.
The 30 was too damn short, for 4.46.

There's my 2c worth.

Looking great. Can't wait to see the results of the Bilstein swap.

Me too! I’m hoping it levels out the rake since I’m using 2.7L Badlands Sasquatch Auto on a 2.3L Black Diamond Manual.

It’s making the rear tire look smaller.

No need for 3rd light bracket with this size:

Looks great!

I've got Nitto Ridge Grapplers in 285/75/17 waiting to go on my Black Diamond.

I was wondering if it would clear the 3rd brake light and it does (just barely)

This got me excited. Now I just need my damn Bronco.

I was debating those tires too. But, I had a 15% off warranty claim (from 2 tires) from Tire Rack that I was able to use for all 5 and they don't carry Nitto. Damn near stolen at $1200 for all 5.

That is a great price!

I agree. $1600+tax at current prices. I had them back ordered since November with older pricing.

They look very cool. Any notable difference on road with the Toyo AT3 - 285/75R17 over stock?

Zero. Handle well, if not, better. A bit less gravel getting stuck in the treads. I actually liked the Grabbers. Honestly a solid tire. They just shoulda come from factory at 34ish instead of 32 IMO.
