Yes, they will fit, if the truck is a 4x4. You will have to fix the speedo if you want it to be accurate. How much it's off will depend on what your OEM tire size was. I went from a 30 inch tall tire to a 33 inch tire and mine if off approximately 5 MPH at 60.

I have seen 285/75-16's (33x11.50) mounted on 16x8's on a stock 4x2, but it is a very tight fit. You will probably have to trim some plastic off the front bumper's lower valance. If you do not plan on ever lifting the truck, I would suggest a 265/75-16(32x10.50) on a 16x8 wheel.

well,
i think the back will fit just fine. i am planning on a leveling kit (1.5"). but the 33"x12.50 will fit 16x8 rim, right? and also, what is the bolt pattern on the '00 f-150?

thx all

I'd stick with a 285/75-16 (33x11.50) or a 305/70-16 (33x12.50) if I were you. A 295/75-16 is basically a 34x12.00-16.

With 1.5 inches of lift, I think it would be close. If they rub, it will be on the front bumper's lower plastic valance, which is easily trimmed. 285's would probably be your best choice.
