Yes, I have 285/70/17 BFG AT's on my stock 2000 F-150 ORP with the Lariat 5 spoke wheels. They fit great and look awesome. I have not noticed really any change in fuel mileage. I drive past a bunch of the "side of the road radar" deals to check your speed in certain areas and the increase in tire size has not affected my speedo reading one bit.

Thank you PGH.....
Because those are the exact tires, brand and size, that I will be getting for my truck as soon as it comes in :-)
.....these, mounted on a set of 17" American Racing Wheel Thugs, black teflon's Whooo Hooo ! :-)
That size looks great ! Glad to hear they haven't hurt your odometer readings, or fuel mileage too much, if any.
Looking at all the tight trucks on this forum is about to drive me crazy ! :-)
Peace,
Fish

NP bro, sorry about the size of that pic....
The only issue, I wouldnt even call it an issue though, is at full lock (steering) and going over a bump or something they slightly rub my factory mud flaps. This is nothing that is even a consideration to me which is why I didnt list it in the initial post, just makes a short rub sound every once in awhile under the right circumstance.
Good luck with your purchase, post some pics when you get it all done!
