You can get a 285/70 with no problems... You can also squeeze a 295 under there too if your not wheeling... But I'd go with the 285/70 it will look real good an fill out the space in you wheel well

I think so if your going wider, they may rub.

Why not consider buying new rims and tires?

When I compared prices for 15x8 rims paired with 33x12.5 tires VS. 33x10's on stock 18" saharas... the rims and tires were 500$ cheaper!!!

Yes, you'll need spacers with 285s with stock rims.
