Fitment check: Method 703 17x8.5 +35mm and 285/70/17 tires.

I’m thinking of buying Method 703 17x8.5 +35mm and 285/70/17 tires. I was wondering if anyone has that same setup. Any complications with it?

First pic is 285/70/17s on a stock off road., 2nd pic (sunset) is after I installed the all dogs springs. Never any issues with rubbing etc. Have not done anything extreme but very happy with the set up.

Same setup on stock suspension... Method 703's 285 70 17... Only rubbing was the Canadian mud flaps..
Had to remove and use rokblokz

Crazy, I swapped the little stock mud flats for the Canadian ones and no rubbing at stock height, of course nothing after spring install.

I'm running Falken At4w... Maybe tread pattern? It was the little nubs that stuck out on the front Canadian flaps... Only hit going up driveways and turning at the same time..
But enough for me to swap them

Same.

I have the same setup. First pic is right after I installed the front All-Dog leveling springs. Second photo shows height after springs settled. Have had no issues before or after the springs. Tires are Toyo Open Country A/T 3 285/70/17.

Same setup I have, all factory suspension. No issues after 4k miles.

Running same exact setup with Falken ATW4 tire… Original on stock TH with CBI Bumper with winch and AluCab Contour on back.. No problems with rubbing at all.. Just changed to Dobinson Springs because of extreme squat in back while towing TetonX Trailer. now with springs, settles a little (trailer 4000#/ tongue 540) but nothing extreme.

First image is truck loaded with trailer after Dobinsons change.
Second image is truck with new springs.
Third is truck with trailer loaded before spring change.
Fourth is truck with OEM shocks.
