Question Will 285/65/16's fit stock Cast Aluminum '99 rims?

Just curious if this size will fit on my stock rims because I saw that Pirrelli Scorpion Zero's are made in this size and I would like to see about getting those next time around. Thanks for the input.

I have looked at those also. My understanding is they require an 8" rim and the stock rims on the F-150's are 7". Everyone I talked to said they wouldn't fit so I didn't get them.

Charles F-
Here's the URL for the Pirelli Scorpion Zero
dimensional & fitment chart. You're right you'll need wider wheels. http://pirelli.pearlcomm.com/pneumat...dimensions.htm
You might also want to check out the Dunlop Rover GTX, really nice low profile truck tire and a whole lot cheaper than the P-Zero
