Your gears. The stock 3.55 gearing will turn that big of a tire but the engine will work harder and you will get terrible gas mileage. 3.92, 4.10, or 4.56s would help a lot. I'm not an expert but I'd go with the 4.10s or 56s with a 285 tire.

The gears themselves can be had fairly cheap, its the peripheral parts required, and installation that beats up the wallet. Look at spending between 1500, and 2000 for gears/installation.
