285s are the biggest you can fit without major hacking or cranking of the torsion bars. If you run stock rims they will fit with little or no trimming. You will probably have to tie back the parking brake cable, the fender liner in front of it, and at least reshape the fender liner in the front on the driver's side. Also, if you have stock mudflaps, you will probably have to trim a corner off of there. Check out the photos in my signature. It is on a GMC, so if you have a chevy, you may not have to do as much to yours. I believe the chevy's have less clearance problems. When I had my tires on stock rims, I had only a minor rub if I hit a bump at full lock on the mudflaps. Now I run 16x8" rims with no mudflaps and don't rub hardly at all....only on very rare occations.
