Ordering pro comp tires....will they clear??

I am ordering Pro Comp Xtreme all terains for my 1999 Ford F-250 superduty regular cab althogh I need to know if they will have any problems clearing my bone stock setup they will be:

Pro Comp Xtreme All terains size LT285/75R16

Is this a wise setup and choice of tire?

They are going to be replacing my bfgoodrinch all terains that were LT235/75R16. I decided to go with the pro comps after looking around the internet a little bit and deciding that there a little better choice also I'm hoping the little extra diamter tire will fill out the wheel wells better and give me a little help when I take it off-road and in the snow.

I only take it offroad about once a month for a little bit maybe twice. Thanks for any help!!

Thanks for the help guys...A couple more questions though how do the LT265/85R16 do? I might end up going with the bfgoodrinch all terains being I can't find a good deal on the pro comp's does anyone know of a good deal on them? I'm only looking to spend about $700.

I priced 285/75/16s BFG A/t a few months ago and for 4 tires, m&b, disposal and tax it was $870. I ended up going with Dick Cepek FC-2s in the same size and cost $852 out the door. So far the FC-2s are wearing better than the BFGs I had before.

I would go with the 285's over the 265's, there is definitely enough room on even a bone stock setup. I have the BFG TA's, they look sharp. But if mpg is an issue, keep them stock!
