I have a 1990 regular cab step side k1500. In the next couple months im going to lift it and do wheels and tires.

I’ll be about 2-2.5 inch lift front and back.

I want to do 33s and a chrome pro comp or American racing wheel, probably 16 inches.

With some 285/75/r16 (comes in at about 32.8x11.4) what is a good wheel offset you guys are running to be flush with the fenders. Don’t want to poke, would like to just be flush, or maybe poke a couple mm but nothing extreme. Thanks.

Also will 285/75/r16 fit without trimming on a 2 inch lift?

You will need the -44mm offset for the rear bead on the 16" rims to clear the upper and lower ball joints etc.

285/75/16 will Definitely fit with no modification done. Now when you're offroad and start flexing on trails you might run into some rubbing. I’m running that size tire on my 1988 k1500. Here are some random pictures in no particular order to show different angles of the tires.

Full disclosure, I cranked my torsion bar keys and raised the height of the front about an inch and a half on the driver side, and an inch on the passenger side.
