According to the tire calculator the OP is right

Click image for larger version Name: DSC_0017.jpg Views: 2612 Size: 80.1 KB ID: 162321 I have 285/75/16 on stock rims.... I rubbed a little bit, when making a hard right hand turn. I have since put a leveling kit on with no rubbing at all now!

will work fine....may barely rub at full turn. 1.25 wheel spacers will make it work great

I ran 285/75/16's on stock 16x7's for a short while, I quickly opted for wheels b/c the minimum recommended wheel width on my tires is 8" and I didn't like the way the tires were contacting the road on the 7" wheels. I had no rubbing or problems other than that on stock wheels.

Wow. Quite a difference FTP 285/75 to 285/70s. The 285/75s are 32.8". You should have no problem running 285/70s at stock height if only 31-32" height and 11" wide.
