What size tire?

I know it sounds dumb but I don't want the tire to rub. I have a stock Early 99 250 4X4 with the 7.3. I put leveling shackles on the front which raised it about 1 1/2 inches. I run a 285/75/16 Maxxis Buckshot Mudder right now. I just ordered a set of 305/70/16 BFG K/O's. I have aftermarket 10" wheels. Did I mess up and order to big of a tire, or do you think it will be okay? I am only wondering because my Dad's superduty has 285/75/16 BFG's on it and parked next to mine they look tiny, and I don't want to order the 285's for my truck and look like car tires.

305s will probably be OK with your slight front lift and all, but it really depends on the offset of the 10 inch wide wheels.

I think you should be OK since you have a leveling kit on it. Those wheels are plenty wide for the 305's. Those BFGs are good tires.

I hope so. I get them installed Monday. 4 out the door for $950, hope that's a good price. Cheapest I could find, everybody else wanted $1100.
