Default New wheels, need new tires

Just got these 18" AR wheels, looking at getting 285/65 18 Nitto Dune Grapplers.

Will they fit?

I know, can't keep your eyes off those chickens in the background....

Duplicolor rattle can, my friend.

The front is super easy to take off. Pop the hood, take off the radiator shroud with the push pins, then you can basically pop it right out (easier to work with)

I taped off the black border then sprayed away. Let it dry a few hours then sprayed some rattle can clear coat over it.

Couldn't get the back one off, so I taped off the border, masked off the whole thing then went at it.

Additionally, I took off those stupid LT emblems off the tailgate and replaced with the new style Z71 emblem you see on the pillars of Tahoes, the ones with the red Z.

The poor man's mods I can do in my garage.

thanks for the comments

Those tires should fit. They are the same width and a little shorter than the ones on my '01 with stock suspension.
