Biggest tires for Alcoa 16x7 rims

Buying some Alcoa 16x7 rims. What's the largest tire I can put on these? I'm going with BFG ATs. The're going on a 96 F350 CC. I had 35 12.50 16.5s on my last 96 and they looked great. BFG shows the 285 75r 16 which is a 33" with an E rating. Their is also the 315 75R16 ,35", but is D rated. Will either of these fit the 16X7 rims? Thanks,

Technically 285s are too big for the 7" rim

Just because they are load rangeD doesn't mean they can't handle the weight.
Look at weight rating as well. Wider tires usually have higher weight rating (with quality tires)
I'd still go with a 285. Easier to find a replacement if in a bind.
