Help? On Tire/Wheel sizes

My question is,

If I put a set of 285/17/70 BFG MT, on a set of 17x10 American Racing Wheels. Will they clear or will I have rubbing problems, The truck is at stock height. Currently I am running a set of 285/17/70 BFG MT on a stock set of rims 17x7.5, the truck is stock height also. I just want to know, if having a wider rim will affect the tire rubbing anywhere on the truck.

Any Help is wanted!

Thanks

2001 ext cab
4.6 5-speed
alot of extras

well, they are roughly 33" tall, so I have no idea. I think stock they are 31" I'll ask a friend and report back.

ya 305/75/16 is the max size and they are roughly 33.08 tall and yours are 32.96 tall. So you should be fine.

With 17x10's, you'll have to trim a little plastic off the front bumper's lower plastic valance. That's what I had to do to fit 285/75's on 16x10's.
