Nice to hear from a modded 5th gen owner. I’m in the same boat and trying to decide which 6th gen trim to go with. Also, good luck stopping at tires on the new ride. 🙃
No need to ask AI about this. 🤦🏻♂️
You can look up the approved rim widths on Falken’s (or any manufacturer’s) website. OP’s 275/70/17 is fine for 7-8.5” wide wheels. The problem with going wider on SR5 wheels (285) is that you need minimum rim width of 7.5”.
People are mounting 285s on SR5...
I was about to start a similar thread.
Aside from the weight penalty of 275/70/17, it seems like the best option if using the 17” SR5 wheels and you want to upsize. 265s still leave a lot of room in the wheel wells. 285s shouldn't be mounted on a 7” wide wheel per most manufacturer specs...
I'm coming from a 5th gen have no problem fitting 180cm skis in the back with the driver side rear seat folded forward. They just need to be placed at an angle. The 6th gen design has me concerned that this might not be an option since the entire seat folds forward, not just the bottom half...
