tire dilemma

[jtgus]

Hello. New to the forum and new gladiator owner. Loving both so far!

I've read some threads on here about tires but I have a question I haven't really found an answer to so here goes....

I have a 2021 white, sport s, max tow gladiator. I'd like to put larger tires on the stock 17x7.5 wheels as I like the way they look. After some research and reading here, I believe I'd like to go with a 285/75r17 tire. From what I've found those should not stick out beyond the fenders too much and they are tall enough to decently fill up the wheel wells. Eventually I will probably do a tereflex 1.5" leveling kit in the front and a daystar 3/4" spacer in the rear to get a little lift but still keep some of the forward rake which I like.

Here's the problem....I'm trying to find AT tires in the 285/75r17 size with raised solid white letters to give me the look I want on my white and black truck. Seems like most of the tires I find at that size for some reason do not have the solid raised white letters on just that size. Does such a tire exist??

Any help is much appreciated!

You can always paint the letters you want, or there are sticker kits. eg https://www.tirestickers.com/nitto-trail-grappler-mt-white-letter-tire-by-tire-stickers-4-tires/

I have 5 falken wildpeak at3w’s in that size that I’m taking off later this month. They came oem with our ‘21 rubicon. They don’t have white lettering, but you’d save some money buying take offs. DM me if you’d like me to let you know when they’re taken off. Perfect condition with 10k miles. They look new. No wear problems. Rotated a little early at 5,500 miles. Spare has never been used. I really like these tires. Just going bigger.

Wrong size.

The OP is looking for 285/75R17.

I did see that, but they’re quite close and lots of people use rubi takeoffs on sports. I included the picture so he’d know exactly what they are.

Ah, is my eyesight worse than I thought?

Correct the 285/75/r17 on stock wheels will not stick out past the max tow fenders.

Can't help on the white walls.

I like the looks of the milestars but the X/T says its blackwall and the A/T pro does not say what sidewall it has. Do you know if either is available with the RWL?
Thanks!

Cooper Discovery ATm has that size with OWL. Looking for them for my Overland later this spring. Want the wider tire for better towing stability.
