Post Will 285/75/16 BFGoodrich Tires fit on 16x8 wheels?

I have a 1999 F-150 4x4, and I want to put 285/75/16 BFGoodrich A/T's on my stock rims. My rims are 16x7 and I was wondering if they would fit. I now someone with a 2000 4x4 and he has the tires but I'm not sure if they are the same rims. I think that they are but I'm not sure. Anyway natltires.com says that the rim size is 16x8. Does anyone have this size tires on stock 16x7 rims? Will they fit?

The 285/75 will fit both size wheels.However on a 16x7 wheel (stock)you may get unusual wear patterns.That wheel is a litle too narrow for the tires.16 x8 wheels(aftermarket) are ideal for this size of tire.

Just for the records and to add a little bit of info from the BFG site. The recommended rim width for the 285 goes from 7.5"-9.0".

They also make a 255/85R16, which is a 33.3" tire, and should fit perfectly on the stock rims. I just ordered a set, so can't comment yet on how they perform etc.
