Has anyone tried to run this setup?

What problems did you have to face in the process?

Will Discount Tire even consider mounting this size tire on the stock steelies?

I ran/run them on my 2010 & 2012 on stock rims until I got new wheels. Live them. Nice bold look. Only problem I had was slight rub on sway bar at full lock. I just adjusted steer stop with washers. I run them at 35psi and it rides great. They now have 17k miles on them and still look new. Just make sure to rotate them.

I don't think Discount Tire will mount a 285 on a 7" wheel. In fact, most shops won't. You may be able to find a smaller shop that will. I've seen people run that combo and it seems to work fine, even though the wheel is "technically" too narrow for them.

Thanks for your help. Just trying to gather more info before I move ahead.

They may be hard to balance with the narrow wheel.

I'm running 285/75/16 Bigfoot XT on my stock JK without issue. This is my 2nd set and Big O Tire never said anything putting them on.

im running 315/75 r16 on my jk steelies
zero issues AT ALL
running that size on those wheels on my trailer too
i wheel hard and its a daily driver too
ive run those tires for 23k miles
285's will be fine
go for it!
mine are 10 ply load range E mud tires and they are easy to balance
not much weight added it all

Thanks for the input. I'm slowly putting things together, will be checking with dealers soon to see who may mount the 285's for me.

I wouldn't be devastated if I have to go with 265/75/16, but prefer the 285s if possible.

Thanks again!
