I'd say no,,, 28575r16 are as big as you can go on a stock truck..and your truck is 8 lug..

LT265/75R-16 will fit with no mods at all, as long as your wheels are close to the stock (+28mm) offset.

LT285/75R-16 will fit, but may require some torsion bar adjustments and possibly some trimming. You will also need 8 inch wide wheels (Stock wheels are 6.5'' wide).

Anything larger than 285 will require more mods in order to fit without rubbing.

Discount tire has the MB Predator wheel in Chrome as well as Brushed Alloy available with +25mm offset.

Many aftermarket wheel vendors stock wheels with ZERO and -12mm offset. These dimensions will put the wheel much further out than the stock location and will require a lot of trimming and T-bar cranking to make them fit. Also, the further out you locate the wheel, the more stress you'll put on the outer wheel bearings.

You can read more about tire fitment and these wheels HERE (http://dieselplace.com/forum/showpost.php?p=1948231&postcount=2)

If you would fill out your signature with information about your truck, it will be easier for other members to help you out without having to ask every time.
