Default Will 285/60/18 fit alright with no rubbing?

I am getting ready to put some factory 5 spoke 18" Nissan Titan wheels on my 02 Z71. I am putting 285/60/18 Cooper Zeon LTZ's on them, I was wondering if everything will fit fine and have no problems with rubbing or anything?

I am assuming you truck is stock, no lift or drop? Stock tire size on my old 06 Z71 was 265-70-17 and they 285-60-18 works out to be the same diameter. I'd say you should be fine.

No lowering, no lift or anything just stock. They are a bit wider then the 265's and not sure what the offset is on the titan wheels. I think about the same as the stock GM wheels.

The Escalade 18" wheels are 265/65/18 and they have plenty of clearance. Should't be a problem with 285/60's.

When you get them, lets see em. I was thinking about the 18" Z71 wheels when I get my new truck in a few weeks or sooner, and was considering the 285-60-18's also love the Cooper Zeon LTZ's, didn't know they had them in that size though.

Here is a pic of them sitting beside my truck. I am waiting on one tire to get here bought it yesterday hopefully have it tomorrow. One of the tires I got had a hole in the sidewall. The Cooper zeon is a great looking tire. Hoping they do good on wet roads and snow.

Got my wheels and tires on a while ago, everything seems fine. Really tight fitting over my hubs but seems to be fine. No rubbing issues at all.
