Default Quick dumb question

Ok, I need new tires, new wheels are not in the budget, don't really want to run spacers. I have a TF leveling kit installed already, question is can I run 285/70r17 on stock wheels with out rubbing or would I have to drop down to a 265/70r17 to avoid rubbing?
I don't do much off roading any more (since wife is 5 months preg with our 3rd little girl) and when I do, I don't ever disco the sway bar.
P.s. I'm thinking nitto Terra grapplers if that matters

Thanks.
Tony

The 285 and the 265 are about the same width so that wouldn't matter much. And about an inch and a half taller.

You can run 33x11.5" tires and they will only rub on the swaybar at full lock.
And you can get rid of that rub with 4 washers and the Steering Stop fix.

yes, you just have to move the rear sway bar links to the inside of sway bar- top and bottom.

So they will for sure , absolutely, with out a doubt will fit WITH OUT spacers, on a TF leveling kit... as long as the sway bar end links are moved to the Inside?
