Hi all..hope you all had a good old years night..i have a 2001 amazon with AHC which has the standard 275/70-16`s on at moment..i want to change to 285/75/16s BFG A/Terrains..anyone know if i would have any rubbing problems when turning on full lock or traveling at (N) normal height on or offroad and can i expect a lot more road noise/rumble or are these tyres pretty quite on road..thanks.

You could even go to a 295 without rubbing issues. They will fit.
I'm running 305 KM-2's and have zero rubbing. My 295 A/T's rubbed on the frame, and windshield fluid cover (on the bumpstops). 305's do not touch the frame. They are close to the a-arm but still enough room. Maybe a normal sized index finger. Can take pictures if any one wants to see.

Thats perfect no rubbing..think 285/75-16 is as big as i would go..been told a higher side wall reduces the engines preformance..any true in that.
you'll have a larger circumference on you tire, so yes, the engine will seem more sluggish...but not at the 285 size you're looking at...
But it also effectively gives you a taller highway gear for cruising an you still have 4L if you need the low range.

Like others have said the bfg 285/75 16s fit fine. I just had a set put on last week. I had good luck with them on my 80 series (and tundras and several f250s), and like them equally well on the 100. It is a slightly more harsh ride than the stock LTXs but I much prefer it.

Yes i shall.
I've had a couple sets of those tires and they"re great accept for they sling gravel into your wheel wells and makes some racket.
