New rims and tires... Lift?

Just bought BFG 285 70 r17 wondering if they will fit with stock suspension or will I need 2.5 in lift or so?

Re: New rims and tires... Left?

I've seen guys run 33x12.5's on stock suspension.
They look good but they look better on a small lift.

Your new tires are 32.7x11.2/17 in standard.
