i've been trying to avoid asking this question. i've done my reading around, i've read different specs on tires, and i've read on the size specs that very between a 265/75-r17 and the 285/75s. i'm not at all worried about the back tires. i'm just currious about the front tires and rubbing. but i just got to ask.

i'm wanting to put 285/75s on my stock 02' club cab. the stock tires are 265/75s.

what do you think?

 

odds are pretty good they'll rub, but that's nothing a little cutting and/or body lift wont fix. You could allways go with a little smaller tires, that much meat and your little v6 will be working a lot harder than it should be to keep them spinning.

i have 265/60 r18's on mine. 18" american racing "the crush" rims. they have plenty of clerance but the front tires just about touch the well at a full turn which totally put out any kind of drop kit out of question. the brakes work harder but i only notice a problem in heavy traffic for long periods of time. i didn't notice power loss but im sure some was there. 285's would be monsterous imho.
