285s on a k2500 cc with 5.7 and 3.73s

[schwarze_crewcab]

Its about time to replace the tires on my rig. Its a 2000. It currently has 265s and I am considering bumping up to 285s. So I have a couple questions. Firstly, will they fit with just cranking the t-bars? Secondly, any idea what, if anything, I will lose in fuel mileage and power. Motor is stock other than a K&N filter and getting a 3 inch exhaust put on today. Thabks

They fit, but scrubbed the front mudflaps the PO had on there.

I dropped down to 265 and am much happier with it.

Huh....I swear I've got the same size tires on my truck, hell they're the same brand as the pic and mine don't hit anything, even at full lock.

Mudflaps took up a little space in front of the oem flares. It was just a tiny rub while turning, maybe plus a touch of suspension compression.

They clear with mo issue without mudflaps.

it will bring your gear ratio down close to 3.5902. not exact but close. you might see a difference in fuel mileage.
