    285 wide tires are perfectly fine on our stock rims, and look pretty dang good, lots of people have the Nittoe Terra Grapplers 285/60-18 on their stock 18's I am sure a 285 would work fine for you if you wanted. Mine came with 285's on the stock rim when I 1st bought it used in Jan 2005

    I know them well. I have several friends with them and highly recommend them. The only thing putting me off of them is that they are directional.

    I run 265/75r16's and i'm only slightly lifted in the front by cranking the torsion bars a little and then i trimmed the front of the front wheelwells. I'm not on stock wheels but the Hummer H3 wheels i run are only 1/2 inch wider than the stock vx 16's and i believe very close to the same backspacing and offset and all that. I've never rubbed that i've noticed. I don't consider myself lifted really. Just leveled.
