285/75/16's Do Fit, Proof with Pictures!
Ok for all of you with the same question I had, here's the proof. My truck was purchased new in October 2005 and I tightened the torsion bars exactly one inch measuring from the center of the stock wheels. I just recently purchased the FX4/Edge Plus wheels and now have 285/75/16 Cooper Discovery's on them. They don't even rub, it comes within a 1/4 of an inch from the sway bar at full lock to the left. Although I'm sure if I was doing some hardcore offroading I'm sure it would rub the plastic/mesh thing over the shock tower on the passenger side. I do plan on tightening the torsion bars about another inch just to level it out. So here are the pictures I'm sure you have all been wanting.

It might be old news, but if you look around the forum a little, you will see that others seem to ask this question alot. So I posted an ALL-IN-ONE answer that will hopefully serve as an example to all Edge's, XLT 4x4's, FX4's, Sport 4x4's, Trailhead's and others and help them choose the right set of tires for them. Sorry for posting a topic about "old news."
