stock height 3/4 with 285's, pics?

I realize all of these trucks sit just a bit different height wise but I was curious if anyone has 285's on 6-8" rims and if they rub or not? 285's are a little smaller than 33"s so I dont think I will have a problem, anyone have pics? thanks

Here is a Pic of my stock height 3/4 2WD with 285/50/20s they measure around 31" tall. The wheels are 20x9 all the way around.

Frank is right, here are some pics. Mine don't rub at all, from lock to lock. Even over uneven ground I have never had any problem with rubbing.

One thing to keep in mind before you buy will be the wheels themselves . The wheels on that slick brown truck are very offset and probably help with the rubbing issue . The same tire on an eight inch wide wheel might be a different story . Unless it has a lot of backspacing it will place it further out and may contact the fender while turning . Just a thought .

Thats kind of what I was thinking. I may sell the 85 I just bought for a pretty clean 86 with a brand new crate motor. I dont want anything too flashy so I will probably just get some new stock wheels and some bfg 285 at's. Thanks for the heads up.

I have 285/75/16 on stock 16x7 rims in the rear no problem. Mine are 33in tall. Not sure what the stock backspace is.
