285/70R17
285 = Outside diameter
70 = width
R = Rim Size

As long as the current tires with the same width fit you'll be fine

The 285 is the width measured in millimeters from outer sidewall to inner sidewall, the 70 is the aspect ratio percentage of height and width. I know on a 16" rim the 285's specs say they'll fit on a 8" rim to 10" check on the actual tire manufacture website and you can find all specs on the size tire you're looking at and what rim sizes you can fit them on

the firestone spe s say it will fit rim width of 7.5-9.0. I'm guessing inches and I have a 17x9 rims so it should not look to bad.
