i was looking on the NTW (national tire warehouse) website and i looked at the tire fitting chart that they have and it says a 285/75/16 would fit on an 88 rc with a 2" lift, which is what I have.isnt the 285 a 33in tire? does anybody use 16in wheels on their truck? i was gonna use my 31/1050/15s from my 79 rc, but rims are diff lug size 5x4.5 vs. 5x5.5 i want to use 16x8rims, to be different, but i may just go with 32/1150/15. i dont want to go any bigger.

the 285's are right in between a 32 and a 33. If you want to use a 16 inch rim then use it. For 285s, you shouldn't need a lift at all.

I run a 315 75 16 on a 16X10 wheel. 4" lift and lots of chopping

thats about right but varies from manufacture to manufacture

It depends on what manufacturer makes that 285 or how wide the wheel is, how much psi is in there. Those all make a difference. Not all 285s are 32.9'' tall. Some might barely be 32. My fiancees brother had a set of 285's put on his 01 ram, they were not even 2 inches taller than my 31s , which at the time actually measured to be about 29.8''. My 35's that I just bought mounted on 15x10's at 25 psi measure 34.2''
