Tire deal... can I make it work?

[ellner357]

So I found some used 285/75/16s in decent shape for super cheap. I have 2" bl and getting 3 suspension. I know they'll fit but will they work with my stock rims??? I tried searching with some confusion. I want to act before they're scooped up hence why I post. Thanks guys and gals.

What's the worst that can happen? They don't fit? Scoop them up, try them, an if they don't work, save em.

From my understanding, they fit, but rub the UCAs. Some wheel spacers should fix that. Better than getting new rims.

It'll work - I'm running 285's on stock wheels with a 1" BL & 99 springs.

With or without wheel spacers?

I've could put them on now the. With 2"bl and being a 99

No spacers - the inside sidewall tread of my Duratrac's will rub the frame at full lock (no biggie to me)

If you run spacers, the outside shoulder of the tread will hit the pinch weld at the rear side of the front wheel opening MORE than without. Even with your 2" BL, you might have pinch weld contact.

Once you have your 2" BL & 3" suspension lift on, you shouldn't have any tire-body-frame contact.
