285's on Stock Wheels - Photos?
Does anyone have photos of 285's on stock wheels? I am probably going with the Nitto DR's and I want to know how the 285's look on the stock 9" wheel. The dealer says that 285's are not recommended for the 9" wheel. I hate to go to BFG's because they wear out so fast but Nitto doesn't make a 275 DR for an 18" wheel.

I've seen a few here run 285s on the OEM rears, but not any that were DRs. I don't know if the variable air pressure or bead matters.
I'm getting 285s to go on some 9.5 inch rears, so I hope that works.

I figured I would stay with the 18's-lower rotating mass (for the most part), larger sidewall and most important....I'm cheap-don't want to drop 3K on new wheels.

If you look at the photos of my car, I have 285's on stock rims.
