I was wondering if anyone had any pics of 285/75/16's on there stock rims. Actually any pics of larger tires on stock rims would be appreciated. I just don't have the extra money for rims. I'm leanig towards BFG 285's as long as they will fit on my stock rims.

John, nice truck. I have a 97 F150 5.4. I would like to replace my 235 Firestones with the same tires that you have. Do you have any rubbing? Were any suspension mods necessary? I will also use the stock 16x7 rims, but mine are different than yours (looks like an insert). Thanks.

 

I forgot to add that my truck is NOT a 4X4

 

I have a 4x2, with some 275/70/16 tires here:

Sorry about the lighting, though, new to this whole digital camera thing. Here are a couple other views:

I also have the 275/70/16 and was consdering the 285/70/16 but I don't think the front suspension has enough travel.
A front lift kit might be needed.
See sig for pics

John D. the truck looks great with the 285's. Did you have any problems mounting them on the stock rims? How much did the set of four cost you? Thanks to everyone for the pics.

No problems at all. I run 42psi in the front and 40psi in the rear. When I load up the bed, I then raise the pressure to 45psi. Got the tires at NTW, they were around $650 for mounting and balance.

 

CR1 -- hey it looks like you painted your brake rotors there in the middle pick. I sure hope that you did not....

 

Yeah, I did get them painted, why don't I like the sound of your post? Doesn't sound like you have good information for me.

 

Here is a '00 F-150 7700 package 4x4 with 305s on stock rims.
