285 does in fact determine height as well. Go look at 285/55, 295/55 and 305/55. Both the 295 and 305 is taller than the 285. The 305/55 comes in nearly a inch taller than 285/55. 

That is because the aspect ratio (55) is the same. A 255/85r16 or a 275/60r20 are both taller than a 285/55r20, because the aspect ratio is higher. 

A 295/50 and 305/50 are both smaller than a 285/55. Aspect ratio ultimately determines height.

285 has nothing to do with height. 285 in the number means the tires are 285mm wide. The number after that is the percentage of that width and equals the height of the sidewall...

Thanks

Love the wheels! I’m thinking of getting those too. How do you like them? What size of tires are those?

I went with these cuz I was tired of the chrome CK375s I had on! I love the way it looks. I just need to black out the honeycomb on the grill. I ended up getting Michelin Defenders 285/45/22 from Discount. Dealership recommended I balance them with 20lbs or less. No issues whatsoever and rides smooth.

They're made by Bulletproof Bumpers.. but the shop i deal with has them custom made with their logo on it, Farleys Truck & Auto Addictions. 

 

CNC cut stainless steel kickback to clear larger tires, heavy duty rubber with all stainless hardware. These are the 12" wide, black powdercoat... but you can get them in plenty of different sizes.

The dimensions of a 285/65r18 tire are 11.22” wide (section width) & 32.6” tall (outside dia)

The section width is 285mm wide  (There are 25.4mm to an inch)

STEP 1) 285mm divided by 25.4” = 11.22” (section width)

STEP 2) Multiply 11.22 (section width) by .65 (aspect ratio)

11.22 x .65 = 7.29” (section height)

To find the outside diameter

Multiply 7.29 (section height) x 2 then add rim diameter

STEP 3) 7.29” x 2 =  14.58” + 18.0” = 32.58” round out to 32.6  (outside dia)

You shouldn't be squatting with the RC block in the rear and 5100's up front. If anything the front should still be lower.

I agree. I believe they left the top spacer on top of the shocks and only pulled out the bottom spacer part of the RC level kit. I had the shocks put on at the same times as the wheels. There is a little squat, this picture makes it look like there is more than it does in person.

The shop I had put the shocks and wheels on did some trimming, not sure exactly what, but even with the trimming it only rubs in reverse at almost full lock on the left. Weird, not the right but only left. And its very little. Once I get past a certain angle and get to full lock theres no rub.
