I am in the market for new wheels and am looking at 285/65/18. Does anybody have a pic of their stock level truck with t-bars cranked and this size of tires? I am worried about clearing them without having to trim a whole lot. I'm not really good with tire sizes so if these wont clear real easy... what size should i get to clear but still keep the truck looking good?
I'm running 275/65R18 without too much issue. In fact i lowered the back end by 2" and the front by 1". I trimmed some plastic off the front bumper and tucked back the fender liner slightly and I have zero rubbing.
I think you'll fit the 285's without any trouble if you're planning on cranking the front up a little.
If you haven't purchased your wheels yet, you will have better fitment with a positive wheel. Something in the neighborhood of +12 to +18 should work very nicely.
