Those look nice and beefy on there. I'm running the same size tire but on a 17x9 rim. I hacked off the inside corners of the bumper to clear the tires while turning. I need to trim a bit more as it still contacts when the truck flexes. With the OEM wheels the corners may be all you need to trim.

Hehe, gotta love the MTR's... I know i love mine! One thing I noticed about mine is that they are so quiet compared to other mud tires.

I am running 285's on mine as well. The PO added oversized nuts between the bumper and the frame where the bumper mounts to move the bumper out about 2 inches. That took care of the rub.

6 nebraska- I do love them so far. Compared to most mudders i've had, they are quiet, but the Dunlop Mud Rovers I just took off were even quieter, all though they were junk, wore fast and were weak rubber.. i certainly wouldn't recommend those lol.
shadetreemachanic- I think I will move the bumper out a little. My father in law did to his 92. Did you just use washers?
Thanks for the complinments guys.

A combination of washers and oversized nuts.

i used to big nuts to space my bumper as well as some washers. then i cut the corners of the front bumper to clear as mine were stil rubbing. i even did all this after i added a front add-a-leaf kit. mine sem to be wearing down quite fast though. i expected them to last longer than what they are. maybe i've driven that many miles but i didn't think so...

I had to chop my front bumper to get 285's to fit. I hope you like those tires.....since I have the same ones.
