Are you happy you went 285/70-17 or maybe wish you went 275/70-17? Thinking of going with a 285/70-17 Toyo at 3 but can’t decide? Thanks!I got a lot more than a little rub with 285'/70r17. I got a little rub while turning with no wheel travel and quite a bit at 50% lock and any amount of bump travel. I didnt do any trimming, I simply got a heat gun out and re-shaped the plastics a bit.'
Re-shaped plastics; the bumper edge got heated and rolled in from the bottom about 5 inches up. The wheel well liners got massaged back about 1.25-1.5 inches in the center and progressively less moving inward and outward.

Be aware that adding spacers will improve your strut/coil-over clearance but it will reduce your tire clearance at the fenders. I have Agile 16mm spacers combined with Method 50mm offset wheels for a net offset of 34mm compared to the original factory alloy offset of 54mm. My 33.1” tires, 255/80-17, have about 1/4” of clearance at the tightest point. I have about 8mm+ of clearance to my coil-over strut springs. Wheel studs and lug nuts also make it much easier to mount the wheels.Please also mention the ET of the rim this is importend for others when creating there setup for there van.
I am running now Black Rhino Warlords with ET52 and 285/70/17, I didn't changes anything else. the space between the shock and the tire is about 3mm that is not a lot. For the rest it is tide but it works without any rubbing. I like to put a spacer on but when I do it is very difficult to mount the wheel. To fix this I will let some body mill a hub extender.
Looks good!
Not many people choose to run a 34" tire. How is the front clearance to the front bumper with the 75 profile 285/17 on the VS30? Im sure many will be curious.285/75R17 KO2s

VS30 Clearance issue is usually most problematic at the rear of the front arch. But it’s close up front as well.Not many people choose to run a 34" tire. How is the front clearance to the front bumper with the 75 profile 285/17 on the VS30? Im sure many will be curious.
I believe you will need new lug bolts.I'm switching up from 255/85/16 to 285/70/17. VC 4.3 (suspension but no lift). Currently I'm running stock rims but going with some Black Rhino Bandolier 17x8 ET 38. Do I need different lug bolts? Stoked to give this size a try.
Stock steel?Currently I'm running stock rims
What model, Where did you buy them, and how long ago?my Black Rhinos came with the correct lugs,
