2 wd with 285's

Does anyone have any pics of a stock 2'wd with 285's on it and does it still handle as well as the 265's?

I have 285s but they are a 55 series. They handle FAR superior to the stock 265s.

Do 265's come standard and will the 285's fit?

265's come standard. I have the 285's BUT, my truck is lifted 4 inchs (2wd). So i dont know if 285's will fit in the wheel well with a non lifted 2wd x. But as far as rubbing goes, the 285's fit perfect. No rubbing what so ever on the OEM rims.

285s usually won't rub but of course, that depends on the aspect ratio, wheel width and backspacing.
