285/70/17 I'll see if I have any pics of when I ran them.

Expect no rubbing but increased brake wear as well as the front suspension getting worn faster and U joints going out faster.

I've heard some not have rubbing issues and some do with 295's. Every tire maker is a bit different not every 285 (295)/70/17 will measure exactly the same.

Tires are fine rims have some questions, these trucks are hub centric not lug centric also you need to find out what the stud holes size is; '97 and '98's have 12mm studs '99+ have 14mm studs.
