The B&W Heavy-Duty Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class V - 2" # BWHDRH25182 is shown with the factory 245/70-17 tire which has a 30-1/2 inch diameter. The 285/70-17 tire you mentioned is 32.7 inches diameter so it hasn't been tested to confirm, but it does appear will fit because of the mount style but the tire will most likely rest the tread against the crossbar.
