H2 wheel question

I am thinking of getting a set of H2 rims to powdercoat black, but I'm not sure if they'll fit with the tire size I want to run. I currently have BF Goodrich 285's on stock rims with no rubbing. Do you guys think that same tire size would work on the h2 rim with no rubbing, or would I have to do a leveling kit or crank the t-bars?

I think you should be able to get a 285/70/17 on there should be the same size as a 285/75/16. Black powder coat looks good.

I just like there look and they are wider then stock wheels so I can run wider mud tires then I could on my stock wheels. I don't understand why they put a 7.5 wide wheel on our bigger trucks.

Powder coating costed me about 160. I know the type I have is the typical type. I had some center caps off of a 1 ton work van or hd work trucks have them also I believe instead of painting the chrome ones it never last long.
