Would I be able to fit they size tire?
I'm also gonna use a 2 inch wheel adapter.
What kind of rub is there either frame or body?

I'm not sure about anything that big.. other guys can tell you more. But I can say for sure, the wheel adapters will just make it worse. Our main rub issues are from the inner fender area by the splash guard, while the wheel is toe'd out, before lock. Spacers just push the wheel deeper into that inner fender at turn. I'm pretty sure you will have to trim a 285/75 even with a 2.5" leveling kit. Spacers will have you trimming 2" more into that area.

I would say yes with lots of trimming, cause that tire is almost 33" plus the spacer you would need to trim the splash guard, the mud flap on the front, and probably some of the finder. You might want some finder flares to cover up the trimming. I have 32" with a 3" body lift but no leveling kit and I had to trim the splash guards and some of the mud flap thing on the front

I'm running that size with a leveling kit and no wheel spacers. They rub on the lower most bolt on the front bumper and they run on the rear mudflap area and part of the pinch weld. Some trimming will stop the rub but I just got fiberglass fenders which opened up the wheel wells alot! And a new front bumper and no rub at all.

We should get some more information about your truck to answer the questions above.

Is your dak 4WD?

What wheels are you using?
