Depends on the size of the rim. Also max I would run up front is a 275 wide tire.

yea 285 on the front would prob. rub. If its a 9" wide rim I would go with 275's, if its an 8" I would go with 245's or 255's

If you already have them sitting there, might as well mount them. 285 is pretty wide for a 9" rim and on the front but I'm sure it will mount. Gonna be big though.

245s for 8's. 275 for 9's. which really seems a little too wide for up front, i have OEM machs on mine and it makes this sweet bend in the sidewall that looks soo amazing. That is with 245 on 8 in wide.
