I was experiencing some cracking in the side of my Swampers. It was determined that either the sidewalls were failing or the 285's were not quite big enough for the 9" wheels. In either case they were replaced under warranty and I went to a 305. Now that I had a slightly larger tire the Swamper lugs looked like they might rub the fender flares if fully stuffed. Ahh shucks, I was forced into buy Bushwacker flares to obtain more clearance. Here is a pic with the new flares and Swampers. Note that we had to trim around the snorkel. That was not fun.
