Would a 285/60/17 tire fit on a 17x7.5 stock aluminum wheel?

This is the wheel I will be putting them on...

seeing that its a narrow rim it will cause it to peak if u will at the center of the tire...but to be quite honest with you, i dont think you will have any problems at all...im sure toyo has the 8" min for again, maximum wear and longevity...where with a few visits to the track, street burn outs and normal wear and tear, i dont it will be a factor for you...

You should be ok, but that tire will look bubbly..

People run 285/75/16s on stock 16x7 rims ALL THE TIME. It's probably one of the most common setups on our trucks. You will be fine.

You will notice more bulge having a 60% sidewall compared to a 75%. I doubt you would notice any difference in traction going to the 275, that's what I would do.
