I currently have 275/30 on my stock rim which this size is on back order. So does anyone run 285/30 on the stock rim? Any issues with running this size.
What year ISF, wheel widths changed increased by ½" in 2012. I ran 285s on my stock 9" wheels, but that's wider than tire manufacturer's recommendations. 285/30 on the later 9½" wheels would be no problem. BTW, a search would have led you here:
Speak of the devil, I'm planning on running these tires as well. Was wondering what is the max size I can run them with my 2012 wheels dropped on Swift springs without rubbing on stock fenders. I was planning on running 245/35/19 in the front and 275/30/19 in the rears. Was wondering if anyone else up-sized their tires without fender modifications/rubbing?

Exact sizes I went to recently on my '12 F and I'm lowered on all 4 corners on swift springs and zero rubbing. Whenever I need new rears, I'll try 285/30. I also still believe there's room for a 15mm spacer to finish the flush look off.
I've been running 245/35 and 275/30 in these tires on my 2012 for 1.5 years with no issues. I do have swift springs in the front only. When I get my next set I'm planning on going with 255/35 and 285/30 which shouldn't present any issues with fitment.

I just found a quote in a different thread of a guy running 255/35/19 fronts, 285/30/19 rears. I might just do the same.
EDIT: I'm going to do 255/35/19 and 275/30/19, my friend says 285 is a bit wide for 9.5 wheels. Some complain of being too "boaty/flexing".

Will report back when they come in and get installed - hoping no need to roll fenders.
Just got them installed. No clearance issues front or rear. Ride quality is much smoother/quieter compared to the old Pilot Super Sports (stock sizes). Soon as they are broken in I'm sure it'll be light years ahead traction-wise as my old tires felt like driving on ice.
Also happy with visual difference going from 255 to 285! (left side:255, right side:285)
^^^^255/35/19 will work fine an an 8½" wide wheel. I'm running 255/35/19 and 295/30/19 on my RCF wheels. No issues up front. I believe Lance is also running 255/35/19 on his 2012 wheels.
BTW, your friend is wrong.
Some folks did complain when they were mounted on a 9" wheel, but not on a 9½" wheel.

Thanks Lou! I might just go with 255/285s then. Are your RCF wheels also 9.5? Do you like them?
I know it was asking for stock wheels but mine are the same size just more aggressive offset plus I also have a 10mm spacer up front lowered on swift springs with no issues so anyone with stock wheels should have no trouble with these sizes
