33x12.5x16.5 or 285/75/16 on a 2001 Supercrew???

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 26-Apr-02 AT 09:29 PM (EST)]Ok, I know about Superduties, but I'm just learning about the Supercrew so I need some help.

My girlfriend has a 2001 Supercrew 4x4 with the torsion bars cranked up to level the front of the truck. She's looking to get new rims and tires. Should she get 33x12.5x16.5 with a 16.5x9.75 rim or 285/75/16 with a 16x8 rim? Will she have problems fitting either? What are the pros cons of the two? I know that the 285/75/16 tires are more expensive and are a little narrower, but other than that??? What do you guys reccommend? Or should I go with 305/70/16? 16x10 rims? Thanks for the help.
