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

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.
