I bought some Firestone AT's, LT265/75-17's for my express van on 8 lug rims, really cheap and great tread too. But they rub lock to lock , so I'm thinking, maybe I'll just use them in the winter on the Hoe. I just bought brand new Wrangler HP's, but I really like the tread pattern on the AT's. I'll either put them on my Denali rims or the steel rims we have as spares. Opinions?

I used those Firestone AT on my OBS and they were good. They looked pretty tough. I think perfect for your winter wheels.

If you're lowered (and you are), I don't think they'll fit without rubbing.

How much do they scrub at full lock? could you simply add a 1/4" shim/spacer?

I might be able to. I bolted them in and while it was still in the air, had my gf turn the wheel, lock to lock, and it rubbed pretty good where the wheel stopped turning. I couldn't even force it to turn with my hands. 1/4 spacer MIGHT do it tho.

It's obvious that you just need to lift it for the winter. Duh.

Steels with silver caps? Ppv style? That would look good imo.

Good news, they're sending out a new led low beam, bad news is it's coming from Hong Kong. Supposedly it's gonna take 10 days. I guess we'll see.

Also I'm considering pulling my spring spacers out and going down about 2 inches, basically leveled stock. It'll kinda tuck the 33s and I think it'll look good, just concerned about rubbing more on my stock offset 285/70R17s. I already rub a tiny bit in the rear when the truck is angled, thinking I might want to put some spacers on to help with that and widen out the stance, stabilize it a lot.
