Anyone running 265/75r16's with a 4" lift?

I am trying to decide between 265/75 and 285/75 size tires to get for my truck. It currently has 33's on it which I know are pretty equivalent to a 285 but a 265 will get my overall gearing closer to stock, are cheaper and are basically a 32x10.50. I know the 285's will look good on there but have never seen 265's on one of these trucks with a 4" lift. Anyone have any pics or opinions? I don't want it to look goofy or anything.

Almost forgot it's an F150 4x4 excab short bed

32" tires will look awfully small with a 4 inch lift. I have 33's on mine and if I didn't have 3.55's I would go 35s

I think 33's look pretty good, which is why I am leaning towards 285's but the price and better power/mileage is what got me thinking about the 265's

My son has the 265's on his stock 4x2 F250 and they fit fine. I think they would look a little small on a 4" lifted truck. I think they are closer to 31.5"

Yeah I think I am going to go with a 285. I just need to figure out what tire to run now. I think it might be between the Nitto Terra Grapplers and the Cooper Discoverer A/T3
