How bout a Pic? I am thinking of going with the 285s on mine. I was concerned they might rub against the front bumper plastic.

mine rubbed the plastic air dam but thats an easy fix...just cut it. if you use your stock rims with the 5 inch backspacing i dont think it rubs at all or very little. my backspacing is 4.5 so mine rubs the plasic wheel well a little so i zip tied it up where it hit. there was a spot that it rubbed in the inner fender flare where there was sheet metal behind it so i had to do some banging on it to move it back a half inch or so. other than that it was pretty easy to do... oh yeah i also cranked the t-bars about 4 full turns.

 

 

i'll try to get some pics of it in the morning and get them posted

the good old chevs have a smaller air deflector on the bumper

thats easy not to rub or even trim.but i have a 2004 gmc 2500

hd cc d/a and just installed 265-75r16 on stock rims and they are

about a 1/8 inch away if not closer to the air deflector on a turn

so 285 would not even be a option without major shimming and trimming

its also painted good luck
