I just placed my order for (4)-265 75R16 Warrden's I was going to buy the 285's.. but they are out of stock right now.. and I also have a rubbing issue when turned full lock to the left... so 265's will be fine

It's probably a good thing you didn't get the 285's, they're a bit taller than new 285's. They're a hair over 33".
And it is the back spacing on those rims making you rub. My sisters truck has the same rims and her 285 75 16 duelers rub the control arms in a full lock turn. Mine doesn't rub at all with my off road rims (5.5" backspacing.)

I just got another one the other day too that I still need to get mounted on my spare off road rim.

Don't forget to make sure they spin balance them and that they don't do that road force deal or they probably won't balance right.

Looks good man, as far as the white lettering if you have a hobby shop around you some where you can get rubber paint, it's almost like wet chalk that when it sets it doesnt come off.

Thats what i did on my durango when the white lettering was fading off i bought some rubber paint and it only cost me like 10 bucks for a 4 oz bottle, you'll barely even use enough to fill the cap of the bottle while doing all 4 tires.

wish i still had pic's of all my work on the durango and my other rigs, i reformatted my HD awhile back and i couldnt get in to save the damn pics
