i just got my 285/70/17 bfg's on stock rims and went on a long trip. i used my gps and the speedo was on the whole time according to the gps unit. i also did not see any gas loss mybe a half a gallon on the whole trip iwas very pleased. plus i got a lot of complements about the way they look.

 

I had the same thing happen to me. My wife and I were stopped at a red light and 2 guys were staring at my tires. My wife was like "They are only tires!". I am going to say something, so I locked out the windows ASAP.
The 285's are an excellent tire and do wear well. Congrats!

 

We need pictures!

 

 

hers are some pics i dont know how to post them in here https://www.f150online.com/galleries...6693&anum=8850

 

Sweet!

 

here ya go!

 

They look bigger w/o the raised white letters?

 

thanks, how do you do that.

 

you have to have them taken off the rim and remounter with white facing in... personally i dont care either way on my truck ( got the same tires and size)... what more to say but

 

I have an '02 SuperCrew 4x4 (not the FX4) with 16" rims. Will the BFG 285's fit on my stock setup? I see the truck in pic is FX4 and didn't know if there is any additional clearance that would allow them to work on it and not mine. I currently have 245 70 Wrangler MTR's, but they are toast. I love them, but I don't do any offroading other than sand. The wear great though, I've got 50,000 on them now and have probably another 3,000-5,000 left.

Thanks.

 

There is no difference in clearance between the 4x4 and FX4 packages.

285's will fit on your truck just fine.

 

i did crank my torsion bars up. but i dont think i needed to. it just looks better sitting level. i think atleast

 

You don't need to crank the torsion bars up to fit 285's.

 

I just put Toyo open country a/t 285/70R17 on my 02 screw 4x4 Lariat and they fit perfectly without any cranking.
