What would you do?

2007 Screw XLT 4x4.
Installing 2.5" AS Leveling kit.

Two options:

Option 1-get 285/70/17 BFG All Terrains and have them mounted on 17x9 Pro Comp 7005s with 4.75 inch backspacing

or

Option 2-get 315/70/17 BFG All Terrains and have them mounted on the stock OEM 17" wheels

What would you do?

I want to order Thursday but I am **** about researching and exploring all of my options (Wandell can vouch for that since I am sure to have annoyed him with numerous PMs and posts on here). Expensive investment, just want to make sure that I explored all possible options.

I say get them on the OEM wheels, and buy the wheels later if you really dont like the stock wheels

also i would recommend the bilstein 5100 shocks instead of doing the spacer kit

I'm a big aftermarket wheel guy so I would get the new rims but if you really like your rims then get the bigger tires

Just came across option 3-mounting the 315/70/17 on one of these two wheels:





both are 17x8 with 5.5 backspacing

option 3 first wheel. I think those wheels will look great on your truck and the tires will def. look good as well. I would ask paw paw to make sure you have the right BS as he has that same set-up. Or obviously Wandell would work too.

Exactly what you need 17x8 with 5.5 BS.
