Hey guys need some help trying to decide on what rear tires to get for stock wheels. I had already replaced fronts with stock size a few months ago , well I was planning on getting stock size on rears but man traction is really a problem since the cai and pulley , was thinking about going 285’s maybe… What are you guys running?

Nitto 315-35- 17's DR will fit the stock rim with no issues. They run smaller then most. About the size of most 285's and will help with your traction issues.

285 street tires are not going to help your traction situation.

I'd really go ahead and ante up for a pair of AFS 17x10.5 replicas so you can run 295's or nearly any 315 you want with minimal issue.

285's on a stock wheel really don't do much for traction.

Agreed, just installed some 315 Dunlop 8000's on 17 x 10.5's on the rear and they look great. No wheel spacers either, however I did go ahead and replace the IRS bolts. 285's there is really no difference in width at all.
