I've got 325 on 18s and they rub. Drives me crazy on tight turns. Can't wait to wear tires out and get a smaller width.

285s are only 1 cm wider on the inside. If you turn your tires tight and craw under the car, you can see how much room you have. I don't think 1 cm makes that much of a difference for these vehicles.

Should not rub at all. Just a little wider and taller than stock. I've heard of guys getting 295's in with no rubbing and 305's with little rubbing.

I'm running 285's with stock height (4x4) and no rubbing at all.
