In over my inner wheel wells?

I am looking at new tires for my 70K20, I really like the dyna-pro tires from Hankook, and everything I have read. I have been told that 285/75/R16 tires will fit on my truck without a lift, but these tires are also sold in 295/75R16 (which makes the Diameter of the tire 33.4"). I know this isn't a huge step in size (just over 1/2 inch). My question is this, am I going to be able to turn the wheel without rubbing with this setup until I get around to add-a-leafs front and rear?

Re: In over my inner wheel wells?

I have dyna pro's on my daily driver and I love them. In general you can go two sizes bigger (than stock) and not have rubbing issues. So if you are sure 285 will fit, then 295 should not be a problem.

The question is though, how much room do 285's really leave you?
