ANYONE run 285 MT/R's with 3" lift?? Please let me know if you have rubbing! I need to buy tires for my Radflo CO lift and I know 275's will fit but I want 285's if they will fit. I run Sequoia wheels so I have a bit more offset to play with.

You'll rub, I know I did (and still am, need to get realigned). But that's what trimming is for. I have a 5th Gen but I am pretty sure others will rub too.
 
Yes, very slightly on the drivers side at hard lock. They are on my '99.
You don't say what truck you have, so yours may be different.
 
I ran 285 Cooper STT's w/ 3in Cornfed Spacers...lots of rubbing. You will need to trim the inner fender plastic and trim the lower front corners of your front bumper, but nothing serious. No rubbing on the body mounts and no rubbing in the rear. Sequoia wheels? Snag some spidertrax wheel spacers. Because of the offset of the stock wheels, you will need clearance for the UCA's in the front. Do it! You won't be disappointed.
 
on my '05 i had 285stt's with ome and 1" 4crawler bodylift,total chaos UCA and spidertrax wheel spacers and still rubbed, WITH trimming. So, i recommend you say fvck it, and trim what you can and if what you rub ISNT metal of the body, frame or anything else than let it grind on down.
No rubbing on the first gen ;) and thats with real 33x12.5s none of this 32.7x11.5 shennanigans. lol :D

I have 285/70/17s firestone destination A/Ts on my 5th gen with toytec lift, rubbed super hardcore on my control arms. Threw some spidertrax on and had to cut my front fender lining. I do still rub a little when I reverse and turn the wheel.
 
285/75/16 yoko ATS-s with a 3" Bilstein/OME lift and no spacers 1/2" more offset in the wheels. Rubbed pretty good at 1/2 turn. Trimmed a bit of the front inner fender and pull the muds. Still rubbing a bit in reverse and just barely at full crank in drive.

Going to trim off the rest of the front inner fender peice and rivet in some new plastic to seal up the bumper again.
