Tire size question

I have an '03 F350 6L PSD SRW and want to run 285/75/16 Trxus M/Ts...will they fit ok with no rubbing in the front? The stock tires are 265/75/16.
BTW, I do not have X springs in the front, I believe they are the W 'heavy service' springs.
Please, only comment if you know for sure.
Thanks.

I run the 285's on my 99 f 150 4x4 lariat.There is still plenty of room.I'm in need of new tires and am thinking of going to the 305 size.If anyone knows of any issues wit the size let me know before I drop the bucks on them.I've found some good deals on the internet but would hate to go through the trouble of sending the back if they didn't fit.

As long as your using a stock to 8" wide wheel, you will be fine. No clearance issues at all.
