285/65-18 BFG AT KO's

anybody got pics of their 04 rolling on the 285/65-18 BFG AT KO's on the stock rims? how do they look and how do you like them?
how much taller than the stock 275/65's? or are they the same height and just a little wider?

I have them on my 04 FX4. Just a couple of pics though, nothing close up on the tires themselves.

Not sure of the height differences, never had the stock tires on myself. Beware that they do call for 8" or wider rims, and the stock rims are 7.5" rims, which has led to a lengthy discussion on potential liablility issues should a tire ever be the cause of an accident...possibly the insurance company trying to get out from under it.

That said, my Ford dealer is the one who put the tires on for me...part of the "deal" when buying it.

I spoke to a Goodyear tire dealer about the BFG's tires, He said your truck will roll over before those tires ever come off the rim. He said you could probably put the 285/65/18's on a 6" inch wide rim and the tires would mostly never come off. That's what I was told. There was a couple guys telling me this.
