285/75/16's...will they work Help plz.
 

I have a 97 f150 flareside 4wd with stock suspension...no offroad package suspension or anything. lookin to buy a set of hercules trail diggers but want a set of 285/75/16's will they rub/what would i have to cut if they do/or should i stick with 265/75/16s? will most likely be mounting them on **** cepek dc-1's with 4.5" backspace/or stock 16's for now. help me out if ya know. thanks

They will fit easily. If you use a 10 inch wide wheel, you will have to trim the front bumper's lower plastic valance slightly.

awesome 285/75/16's it is then youre absolutely positive they'll slide in without rubbin huh? what would a 10 inch wheel do different for me than a 8 inch

oh n i jus noticed if i get he **** cepek wheels they only have a 4.03" BS for the 8 inch

Yea they will fit. I have 285/75/16 on my stock wheels and have no problems.

yeah those will be fine, a little more bs means they won't stick out quite as far. an 10'' rim would just stick out farther and would make the tire look a little wider due to it being mounted on a wider surface....that should be a sweet looking setup.......consider the 305/70/16(33x12.50) if they make the tire you like in that size, would be a really nice setup, that is what I plan on doing someday........

sweet thanks for the help guys. TOMKEMP... so would 285/75s fit with my stock wheels and no lift or would they rub? n yea id love to go with 305s not sure if they make em though i plan on buyin a new set of wheels n tires to run in the summer so they may be in the future

Yes, they will fit fine.

awesome. thanks for the help guys

Yup stock wheels and suspension with no rubbing.

Here's a pic of my Screw with 285's on the oem wheels right after I purchased the truck in 01.
