tire size

I'm looking at putting Bridgestone Revo's on my beast. Can I go to 285 75 R16 without worries of wheel clearance. My old truck 98 12V 4X4 I could not put 285's on because it was to tight. I'm not sure if there is much difference between 1998 & my new 2002

As far as I know the 285/75R16s will work perfectly on it (32.8", can't go any larger than 33" with the stock height). I just read a thread the other night where I guy said they won't rub on a stock suspension truck even in full steering lock but the 305s might rub a little on the inner well if you hit a big bump at the same time as having the steering locked full.

I ran 285/75R16 on a 97 that I had and never had any problem with them rubbing. This is what I plan on putting on my truck when I need a new set.

Go for it!!! I have 285's on mine with no issues. I've stuffed the wheels way up inside the wells and never rubbed so you shouldn't have any problems.
