There just aren't people who can say that they have done it without rubbing. Even if you are doing something as simple as going up a driveway and turning, either the tires will rub or you do not have 33's, its that simple. 285's are not 33's, they are slightly smaller. 33's are 33x12.5x17.
If you are bored, go ahead and type in the tires size to see the difference here:

Except most "33x12.5x17" tires are actually 32.5" in diameter. Lookup the BF Goodrich KO2. The jeep guys I ride with all round up to the nearest half inch when describing tire size (which leads to many jokes about games of inches).
Your point is well taken though. The only "true" 33 I'm looking at is the 255/80/17. I was hoping to find some other opinions on people who had done a near 33 on an 18" wheel (either 265/70/18 or 275/70/18, which depending on the tire correspond to 32.7 - 33.3).
Sounds like a 275 is going to need a BMC, which is a shame.
