I can fit 32's without a problem so I got these 285/75/16's (33"). They look like the will go on without any trouble. I only have a tt and shackles. The picture is the tires leaned against my stock wheels amd tires where you can see only the wheel through the hole. An optical illusion. I had to jack up the A arms so my wheels would line up with the holes in the 33's. But I didnt change the distance from the top of my wheel to the fender flare. I may have to trim a little.

I think it looks pretty good. But Im pretty sure you will have to do some trimming or you will have some rubbing. But other than that it looks sharp.
 






just remember when it is just setting there that is one thing, but once you put it into a twist then it might hit.
 






100 bucks has it, they rub and you'll have to trim... unless you plan on driving in a straight line...

seriuosly... have you tried turning yet?
 






285/75R16s

Add a 2" body lift and you'll be golden.
I ran 285s with about 2.5" lift and had rubbing off road. Not much rubbing on road. After the extra 2" body lift the rubbing is 98% gone. Just a little at full stuff on the inner fender well in the back. They are narrower than the 32x11.5s that I ran on the stock 16" wheels previously. Those rubbed on the front sway bar.
Going for 33x12.5/15s this week!
