Tire size NEED HELP!

Anybody know if 285/50/20's will fit on the front with a 2" drop without rubbing? They are about 3" taller than the stock tires. I havent seen anything on the forum with anybody running this size? AHH screw it, im going for it!

Why would ya want that tall of a tire? In my opinion, that would look pretty ugly! I really doubt it would fit anyways. 295/40/20 is a good size for 20s on our trucks lowered or not.

A friend of mine has 285/50/20's on his silverado and they give it a real aggressive look. They are really not that much bigger of a tire than the 295/40/20. Averages out to be about 1.4 inches bigger all the way around. I dont know? I cant decide?

I think im gonna go with 295/45/20 Falken Ziex S/TZ-04 tires. They look good and have a 50,000 mile limited wear warranty.
