Smile new tires?

i got a stock 2001 dodge 1500 2wd and i wanna put 32.7 in. nittos on it. i already bought my new 16x8 rims but im not sure if the 285/75/r16 will fit without tearing up the tire? i was also looking at some coil spring spacers for the front. mabey 1.5 in or 2 in i was wondering if that will look good and make the tires fit better?

With a 2.5 inch spacer, my 305 70 16's didnt rub at 4.5 inch back spacing.

With my spindle lift and no spacer, they rub ever ever so slightly on the inside of the drivers control arm, however I have a sharper turning radius.

What the hell happened to the suspension in that truck...? You don't need a coil spring compressor by the way. Spacers wont increase wheel travel by the way, they will DECREASE it.
