Just an update; we tried the 285s on the front this morning and to no surprise, they rubbed a little (not bad though) so I ordered 265/65/R18 which are apparently the same circumference as the 285/60/R18s. Since they are slightly narrower, I shouldn't have a problem with them rubbing and achieve the offroad-ability I was after. The last thing I want to do is rack this thing up due to shity tires and if I need to drive over a curb or someone's lawn, heaven forbid, I won't get stuck in the flowerbed. LOL
