What size rims do you run?

I know you'd be able to fit 285's pretty darn easy with 16's, 17's and 18's.

Might have to trim just a really small amount of the front lower plastic on the bumper.

Factory size's are normally 265's.

I don't see an issue with running that size. Look up one of those conversion charts for tire sizes. You might just have to lower the sidewall height a very small amount to keep it safe and keep the overall diameter of the tire the same.

The fitment will mostly depend on the width & offset of your wheels. Minor trimming will usually be necessary, but if you need more room you can always look into the "NorCal fender mod". Should come up in a google search.

Here's my HD2500 with 33x12.50R18's at stock height.

I had 33's on my old truck, it had a 3" body lift and the front tires would just barely rub when turning while backing up. That was the only time it did it. Tires were 285/75-16 I believe.

Should be fine, I run 285/70/17 on my Z with nothing other than the factory leveling kit and have never had a problem. Have A/Ts on now and had M/Ts on before without problem as well.
