You know I do not know why. I never really thought of 285's I am sure they would look better since they are wider. But with these wheels and 275s it is really close to rubbing on the inside fender but nothing a little BFH can't take care of!

Honestly, you need a better offset or some spacers, IMO. The wheels are just too "sunk" into the wheel wells for my tastes.

Yeah I know I took out the rear isolators and I need to put them back it to raise it a little bit.

I would like to get some spacers for the rear. Would I have to get new studs as well? I know nothing about this.
