285/75/16 on stockers

Money's tight right now and cant afford rims. Was wondering whos running 285 75 16's on there stock rims the tires recomend at least a 7.5 inch wide rim but the stockers are only 7". Just wanting ppl's input on what they think about doing this and yes i will be running spidertrax wheel spacers.

 

Im running 285/75/16 BFG all terrains with spidertrax wheel spacers! Loving it with no problems!

 

what about if ur wheeling is it easier to knock ur tire off the bead?

 

Just to piggyback if you don't mind. What would minimal lift be to fit the 285's?

 

im running 3 inch lift but not to sure on minimum probably around the 2.5inch mark

 

i think it all depends on how aggressive the tread pattern is.

I had minimal trimming with the billies set at 2.5"

Probably could fit 285/75/16 all terrain tires at 1.75".

mud terrains at 285/75/16 probably wouldnt fit at 1.75"

 

I ran 285 mud kings on stock rims with no spacers for about 20k miles, with only a little rubbing on the control arm, not too bad just at full lock it would rub. I wheeled quite a bit with no issues. I'm running 3" lift and didn't have to trim at all until I got new wheels.

 

Can you guys post some pics? I'm interested as well. Can't afford wheels so I'm looking at tire options right now.

Sorry I can't seem to find any pics with the stock wheels, but if your local and wanted to see how they fit, I still have them in my storage, more than welcome to test fit them and take them for a drive in exchange for a couple of tall cans.
