im getting 285/70/17's next week (33 x 11.50) and i have heard you can fit 33's on a stock ram but right now i have 265 70 17's and the tires looks pretty close to the spindle, will my 285's rub?

They will be very close, but guys have put that size on without rubbing.
I have 275's in a 33" tire and JUST measured my clearanc last week. I have 5/8". 285's ren't even 1/2" wider than 275's which would mean the tire distributes that evenly to the inside and outside of the rim. Therefore, you will see at most 1/4" closer to your spindle/upper balljoint. Still leaves 3/8" of clearance!
sorry for getting all technical on a simple YES answer. Just wanted to reassure you. ;-)

A friend of mine just put a set of them on a 2007 2wd, so they should fit without a problem
