New Tires! (Pics)

So I finally got my new rubber. I got Firestone Destination AT's 285/70/17. I got them installed on Friday and so far they have been great. I haven't had any rubbing issues but I may buy a 1.5" leveling kit for the hell of it just in case I'm turning full lock and hit a bump and cause they look good. Anywho here are the pics you're all waiting for! Tell me what you think!


Front Wheel Well:

Rear Wheel Well:

They don't really stick out:

Well it turns out that I am definitely getting a leveling kit. I get some rubbing at full lock if I hit any bumps. Other than that though the tires have been great!

Ever since getting my new Wrangler AT/S's, I think mine needs a leveling kit too! Nice truck!

Is this the highest ( 285 ) you can go? I am looking to get new rubber and want to up it from the 255 stock size - Looks great!

I got the same tires as well. I have had them for about 5k miles and they have been awesome. They are also really awesome in snow.

My girlfriend thinks I'm crazy too. She says "You're weird. You just stare at your truck."

Well I'm only going with a 1.5" leveling kit because I don't want it to squat when I tow but the 1.5" should clear these tires no problem.
