I have been reading 285s might be fine with the stock rims which I plan on running.

Les Schwab can not get the Coopers I want in a 265x70x17, only a 285x70x17.
Not sure why.
Big O can get them in a 265, but I prefer to use Les Schwab.
Been dealing with them for over 20 years.

Those are good tires. Very popular down here in the gumbo mud, but also a good off-road tire to have on a daily driver.

They seem to be Gadget approved too, but I have not heard back from him yet.
I will have to see how a 285 looks.
I am going to lift it with OME coils and shocks, but not sure when.

Gotta have that setup on there to handle the weight of an ARB and winch.

They are quite popular here in Louisiana as well... and I pass by the Cooper tire plant in Texarkana quite often on my way up to the sweetsingle track in Arksansas. I've tried several different tires over time and I really liked the BFG MT's the best for road and mud and longevity.

Here's my opinon of various tires I've had on my 4runner over the last 200k+ miles... https://www.yotatech.com/forums/f2/fwiw-my-thoughts-brands-tires-ive-had-my-4r-90595/
