295/70R17 vs 285/70R17
Hello everyone:
So I have a 2003 F-150 Fx4 single cab that I want to add larger tires to. I definitely want to keep my stock rims and I don't want to lift the truck. I wouldn't mind doing a leveling kit though. My question is: I would LOVE 295/70R17 tires on my truck but I don't know if that would rub on the bumper. I don't mind doing a little trimming with scissors but not anything more. Would I have to do a leveling kit for 295s? If 295s require a leveling kit, would 285s be less trimming and not require a leveling kit? I don't want to lose any turning radius.
Thanks!

265/70R17 is 31.3X 10.4
so they both may need a little trimming.
only way to tell for sure is turn the wheel till it is closest to the bumper, and then measure clearance to see what you have to work with.
