Do you want to lift it any or keep it at stock height?

I just put 285/75/16s on my stock. 03 f350. No rubbing at all. Even on full turns. Look nice. They fill the wheel well up better and they don't hurt the performance at all. Speedo and odo. Will b of by 3.6%.

I have LT285-75R-16's on mine. Goodyear Wranglers. Have had no problems with them and they do not rub.

Both Firestone and Goodyear told me that if I went bigger, the tires would start to cup, and did not recommend them on stock rims.
