I hope this isn't representative of the guys from ny that are going to be available for me to wheel with.

If it was a 256/78/17 at least it'd be a similar sidewall height to the normal size used.

I don't think it's only representative of that, but the new crop that will be finding its way over here. I really hope that I'm wrong.

OK, then in that spirit, the OEM rims are only 7" wide. The 285's I run are specified to only fit on 8" minimum rim width, per the manufacturer. 265's will probably be fine on OEM rims, but each tire needs to be researched to see that it will fit your proposed rims.

Yes those tires will fit. You can fit a 285 on our stock rims to, but that's not recomended. So anything from a 245 to a 285 should work just fine.
