RE: offset
Don't know about the rims, but I have the same problem. My buddy has a 2001 slt with 285's on his truck with no problems. I also have a 98 sport. I figured that they fit on his they should fit on my truck. I was thinking of putting front coil springs from a 2500 on for now. I plan on a lift someday but the funds are a little low for that right now. I only need about 1 inch of extra clearance, does anyone know if this will work for me?

RE: offset
The rims will stick out a LOT farther. Stock offset is +14ish. These have an offset of -11. [>:] Kind of extreme for 285s. These rims will cause accelerated wear on your truck as well, since your are moving the mounting away from the centerline of the wheel and the rest of the wheel out away from the truck.
Also, depending on how far they stick out once actually on the truck, you may have to get fender flares to be legal, as in most areas you can't have rims/tires sticking out from your fenders.
