Will 33s (285/75r16s) fit on my 1989 Ford F-350?

I'm running a 1989 Ford F-350 7.3 IDI 5 speed manual regular cab pickup that I just bought. The current tires on it are stock 235/85r16s and they look like shopping cart tires on it haha. I wanted to go for a little bigger look, preferably 285/75r16 or 33" all terrain or mud tires. Here is a picture of the truck. So, can someone determine if they would fit without rubbing issues or any issues at all? Thanks!

285's on my F250. But I think my truck might have had a small body lift installed by a PO, not sure about that.

Scratch that. I checked and these are actually 265's.

i can fir 33s no issue and mine rides really low, you could probably run up to 37s on that truck with the stock ride that high, 33s will have absolutely no issues ion that truck or i will eat my shoes, 35s should be fuine with a tad bit of rubbing maybe

Sweet lol. I saw a 33x12.50 yesterday at work. I didnt realize how big they really are lol. I think I might upgrade my tires when they wear out to either 33s or even 35s depending on cash flow at the time
