so before i buy new tires, i wanted to know i wanted to know if you can put a wider tire on stock rims? i currently have 265/70/17 and im wanting to get 285/70/17 and ive heard many different things. One person said when you go to a 285 the width gets bigger, some people have told me it wont fit some say it will. So what do you guys think?

i ran a 285/70/17 on stock rims and no lift. The tires will rub the inner fender plastic when you turn so far. I was running an AT tire and the "knobs" on the tire would rub and catch(in reverse) the inner fender. Im not sure how a street tire will be.

I run a Goodyear Duatrac LT315/70R17 in the winter with stock rim. It rubs on full turn. I have 3" body and 2" spacer/key lift.
