    Will 285/75 16 fit without rubbing, are you going to use your truck? You have 265/70 16 now?
    I would powder coat the wheels, just not sure about the GLOSS part.

    If you can get your original wheels powder coated cheaper than buying new wheels, I'd say go for it! I like the looks of oem wheels anyway. Good luck!

    Is that pic of the truck before or after the level? And Yeah those wheels would look good painted black but maybe a matte black instead of a gloss black.

    Yeah if that pic is it unleveled and it has the 265's on it now then the 285's should fit with trimming.

    You can get it powder coated in a flat or semi gloss finish if you dislike the gloss
