Question TireRub???

I have a question for the 4x4 guys, Im getting ready to put M/T classic IIs (16x8) and BridgestoneDueller AT/Revo 285/75/16 on my 01 Ext Cab Silv. Will i have tire rub problems. I figure i will have to crank the torsion bars a little. Also has anyone else tried these tires.
Thanks guys

Depends on what back spacing the 8" wheels have. You will probably have to crank the TB's a little and possibly trim the from air dam a little. Revo's are very nice tires but do a little search as i saw a thread the other day stating that there was a recall on the 285 Revos for some reason.

The backspacing is 4.5" on the classic IIs i ve got. I put about 5 turns on the TBs and it just looks tight at wheel lock innerfender(towards cab) and the tire with the 265s. I havent ordered the 285s yet but im stuck with the wheels. Will they work??
thanks guys.
