The Nitto web site states that the 285/75/R17 are 34.09 inches tall and 11.57 inches wide which sounds about perfect for my needs.
first off, you need to stop looking at actual tire size as nobody in the industry refers to it when talking about lifts. a 285 is roughly the same size as a tire with 33x12.50 listed on the sidewall. these will fit a 2.5" lift just fine and you can even go 305 without too much trouble but, the amount of back spacing you have will leave your rear side walls sitting really close to the rear sway bar link ends. you may still find it necessary to run wheel spacers.
