285-70R17 if you have 17" wheels.

That is correct. Youwill still have to crank the T-bars a little and trim the lower valance. But thats not a big problem!

I'm curious of the same thing. Gonna need some all season or similiar soon. Was planning on 285's on stock 16" rims. A friend of mine has 305's on 16" rims and he had a bit of rub while turning in reverse until he wore them down a bit.

I just put 285/75/16 BFG AT TA KO's on my 03 4x4 ECSB. No rubbing at all and no cranking of the t-bars. I have the stock 16x7 rims. The 285's in my opinion look the best on the stock rims.

I agree. 285/75/16 works very well on the stockers.
