PDX, I almost went 285's but was afraid of sacrificing the power....my TT is about 9k lbs loaded, and I have the old fashioned 4 speed tranny....
Look at aftermarket wheels when you go to new tires. I have the American Racing AR-23 rims, and they have the same offset as the factory wheels (I think it's zero if I recall). Going from 16x6.5 to 16x8, the inside of the tire stays in the same position and the additional 1.5" of rim width is entirely outboard. So no suspension clearance issues, and the extra width makes the truck more stable, and looks better with the wheel wells filled up.
You should be able to get 285's on the front with a couple cranks on the torsion bars.
Are you doing a build thread on a truck site? I wanna follow the supercharger install!!
