Of course
Yes they'll fit. This is an often asked question.
You should probably check out the FAQs and spend a little time getting familiar with the search function.

thanks ya'll
Seems odd. 285/75/16 is just under 33". I have 275/70/18 KO2s which are just slightly larger than 33" and Discount Tire had no issue putting them on. I wouldn't think Costco would have an issue putting them on. They will fit with zero issues at all.

Costco around here will only install tires that are within 3% of original size... or what is on the tire info placard.
The forum is 'right'. Probably no fewer than a hundred of us with 285's on our LX's.
It is about the largest tire that will fit back under the spare tire location, but has PLENTY of room in your wheel wells and won't rub when turning or flexing the suspension.
Yes, of course the forum is right.
Yes, the guy mentioned that to me. He said these tires are 3.6% above original size but waived the rule.

Last time I did tires at Costco I had to sign a goofy waiver that I knew I was putting tires on that weren't the OEM size, I was risking death, etc. But they still did it, no problem.
Costco is notorious for not wanting to install bigger tires. Walmart had no problem installing my 285s..... probably bc the tech didnt even know they were bigger than factory hah
I have 285/75/16 BFG's on my 98 LX470 and they look and ride great.
Will this not affect the speed on the speedometer when the tire size increase. I'm planning on my lx 470 2005. But I am still doing my search. (forgive me,I'm still new)
Yes, but its minimal. About 3 mph on mine. (you'll be going faster than indicated).
Oh ok.
I'm thinking of putting a bigger tires.(just for the look) But I don't want to have a speed tolerance on my speedometer. As in uae the speed radars are catchy and everywhere
Install a Yelloxbox and recalibrate for the difference if you want accurate speedometer display.
