will 285/75/16s fit
RE: will 285/75/16s fit
In the day this was one of the top 5 questions asked...and yes they'll fit, it appears different trucks rub a little, or not at all.
My truck's had 285's on it since I bought it...and with or without a lift, I've never had an issue with clearance.

I think you will be good with the stock rims but they are only 7 inches wide on most Dodge Rams (kind of skinny for that tire).
In my experience, it depends on the tires actual size........I mean some 285s are actually taller and a bit wider than some brands. I I have seen some rub just slightly at full lock and others that rub a lil more.
For example I am putting on 285 Buckshot mudders which actual measurements are a hair over 33 inches where BFGs and Pro Comps were a lil under 33 inches (usually around 32.8").

You will rub a little, but as said its jst when fully turned.

RE: will 285/75/16s fit
If you go on the tire rack website they give you the actual size of a lot of tires including the number of rotations per mile for each tire. I was surprised a little on the amount of difference on tires of the same size but different brands nad models.
