285s on a 2wd? once and for all!

[Nattylightning]

whats up guys. ive been reading around and cannot get a straight answer. I own a 99 2wd xlt. i bought a 2wd because i have completely ruined every 4wd i ever owned lmao... anyways ive been building her up, and today i got a set of 285 bfgs given to me. will then fit?

looking at it they should fit np. maybe some rubbing with a heavy load and a little sawzaaa work?

I have 285 on mine. The front rubs slightly on full turn lock. However that may by a wheel offset issue when I switched to lightning wheels. The same lighting wheels on a 4WD dont rub

Note: just in case you're not aware, the 2WD has a smaller overall tire diameter (30") compared to our 4WD counterparts (31.5"). With the 285 I got I went with 285/60R18 tires which approximates 31.5"
