my guess is approx. 1.5-2 inches...cuz your gonna need a spacer to clear the tire...

my guess is based on my mega cab

Right around 1.5". Most guys run a 2" space to clear these I have read a few posts where some guys have ran a 1/4" or 3/8" but they have all said that the tires are way to close.

If u put two inch spacers on 285's, your truck will look retarded with that much space, I've seen it, looks bad. I know of 3 trucks in town right now running 285's on 3rd gens and they run a half inch of space and they never rub what so ever.

I am running 285's on mine and only a 1/4" spacer in the rear with no problems. When towing a run max pressure and have no signs of them touching. I will take some pictures and post them later tonight.

ok well i went to ntb today to put 285 70 17 and they dont fit , i had 1/2 inch spacers i bought like a year ago and with them on you cant tighten up the lugs ,with out the the tires touch when the trucks on the ground , this may be do to the fact i have egale alloys on the truck witch really pisses me off , then i called the local 4 wheel parts and they wanted to sell me the 2inch spacers i didnt want that wide because i think it will look stupid and they told me it would be $829.00 for 2 fu***** spacers , well being upset with the whole deal i got the mic AT2s 265 70 17s,and im very unhappy because i spent $1300 and i hate the way they look im thinking of going back tomorrow and trying to figure something else out i wonder if a 1/4 will work but i dont know if they will let me take them back

Thats odd. One of the boys from town that runs them with a half inch of space is running them on eagles.

RAMROD did you get the mickey ATZ's or the ATZ RADIAL PLUSES ??? The baja atz radial pluses look like car tires!!!! And there more money!!! The baja atz are like an offroad radial but not a mud tire. I was just woundering????

Post up some pics. I want to run 285's on my dually but I agree a 2" spacer doesn't look so good with 285's. What brand of tire you running and what is the LR?
