I just put 285/75R16's on my truck and have no issues. When the body style changed in 1999, the wheel bolt pattern changed. I would still test fit a wheel, as I have run across 2 people who claim to have had a 97 and a 98 F-350(old body style) with the metric bolt pattern. It seems odd, but knowing the shenanigans ford has pulled in the past when changing things, it wouldn't surprise me.
There's no such thing as a '98 F350. Ford only made F150s and light duty F250s as '98 models. The light duty '98 F250s had the same body as the 97-03 F150s.
The Super Duty was introduced in '98 as a '99 model.
Fellas thanks for your replies. I purchased a set of used 285/75/r16s along with some 1997 stock aluminum rims, fit perfect and theres no rubbing on the springs anymore.
