So many choices - need pics to help me choose

I'm just trying to figure out what size tire I want to use. I currently have the 255/70/16 on my 01 Screw 4x4 and they look way too small. I was thinking about going to a 285/75/16 or a 285/70/17 (I'm getting new rims anyway). Anyone have any pics of either of those on a stock 4x4 Screw?

I also was looking to see what tire and wheel combos people had i just bought a 02 Supercrew lariat and was trying to make up my mind what to get. Does anyone have the nitto terra grapplers on there truck. Also what is the biggest you can go with a stock setup, i see they have a 295 for an 18" rim, i was leaning towards an 18, but may go with a 17 insted

with the 285/17s on stock wheels, your 4x4 will look about like this.

They will fit but you will have to crank the t-bars, and do some trimming on the lower valence. Also BFG recomends a rim width of 8.5"-10.0" stock rims are only 7.5" they will fit on the wheel but not perfectly. This may cause the tires to wear unevenly and the warranty might not be honored. Several people have done this but I would recommend against it.

Check Gallery with ProComp lift,

Nitto Terra Grapplers 285/75/16's on American Eagle 143's 16x8"

Love the tires so far only about 500 miles but extremely quite and seem to do well in the rain.
