You should not install 285mm width tires on 6.5" steel rims -- that's just too much tire for such a narrow rim, and you will end up with excessive tire wear in the center of the tire. If you have '03 factory aluminum wheels (Z71 style, 16" diameter X 7" width), you can very likely get away with 285/75/16 tires.
