can i run 285/75/r16 on my stock tahoe?

hi brand new to this site! i have already purchased a set of 285 dick cepek fc 2 tires and i am mounting them on my tahoe rims tomorrow, how much work will it take to fit them? i am considering either wheel spacers or a body lift depending? the tires actually measure 33x 10.5 . thanks for your input

Should not be a problem with a suspension in good shape. I would say search the threads for those who have done it but site search engine does not seem to work right now.

I mounted 285/75R16 Yokohama ATS' on V-Tec 16x8's with a 0 offset. Had a little rub with the wheel locked from left to right but the fender never hit. Did a 2" block out back and a 1/2" crank up front to take the rub away and give it a nice look. If you mounting on stock rims you will have more of a positive offset and the wheels will tuck in more so I think you should be fine.
