Picture Requrest: 2003 F-250 Steel Chrome Wheels

Hello,
I have a 2003 F-250 XL Super Cab 4x4.
This is the one with the straight steel rims and hubcaps.

Last year there was a guy nearby on Craigslist who had some stock plastic running boards and the steel chrome wheels, both were new take-offs from his truck. I purchased the running boards and chrome wheels from him for cheap.
The running boards have been on my truck for a year now, and the wheels have been in boxes in the garage waiting for a new set of tires.

Well, it's time for new tires.
Again, I'm going from hubcaps and 235's.
I THINK I want to put 285's on the chrome wheels. Specifically, I am looking at the "Michelin LTX A/T 2" in 285 with a load range "E".
I have the 3.73 gears and pull a 20' hybrid camper (4k to 5k pounds fully loaded).

Does anyone with the stock chrome wheels have pictures of their truck running 285's?

What size tires are on your chrome wheels? I was really just hoping to see a picture with those wheels and ANY 285 tires....

I have a 03 F250 SD 4X4 with the chrome rims and 285's. I also have a house full of kids and grandkids and cant take the pix just now. I will take pix later today or tonight and post. That size will look just fine on your vehicle.

Stock tires, 265/75/16. My f150 had similar wheels, but slightly different because it was a 7700 with 285/75/16 but i'm guessing you want to see how it looks on a superduty.

Here is my Lariat wheels before wrapping them in 285 Michelin LTX M/S tires.

These were the XLT wheels that came with the tires.

Thanks guys...

Hey Catch This, I hope you can shoot some pictures of your wheels. That would be great.
