    As mentioned previously, go 255/85/16 instead, won't rub your UCAs with the OR wheel offset, better on gas mileage, will make the steering feel more nimble than the 285 and is a taller tire at 33 inches.

    Those look like 255/85/16 with a spacer.

    Still recommend 255/85/16 instead of the 285.

    Ok. Thanks. But isn’t that a narrower tire? Than the stock one. I’d like a little wider tire. Don’t have to be drastic. I Don’t do any major off roading, just the typical dirt/mud stuff. Would be more for looks to be completely honest. I live in the country and just do typical off-road stuff. Nothing crazy

    Being wider is what causes the rubbing and sluggish feel, taller fills the wheel well better.

    But if it's looks your after and rubbing isn't a big deal, 285 with a 3/1 lift on the street will do you fine. Expect to add the spacer.
