x2 I was going to say...I got new tires in February. I asked for 265 75r16 and the guy tried telling me that 285's would fit all around and he'd cut me a good deal. So i says if they fit I'll take em. Well 2 hrs later he called to tell me they rubbed so the answer to your question would be no. Now that is dependent on a few things. My truck is F 250 4x4 stock wheels, bumpers, and no lift. They should fit a F 350. They may also fit a 250 with some slightly offset wheels. Worst case, try them, they rub, swap to another size. Problem solved. OR lift your rig !

thanks for the replys. i figured that they would rub the radius arms. thats no biggie. i might just stick to 265/75 since they dont make a bfg commercial in a 285. im leaning towards the commercial or a transforce by firestone. what do yall think on them?

On my ‘95 2wd the 285s fit with no rubbing but I had aftermarket wheels. I couldn’t find a leveling kit specifically for the F250/F350 2wd trucks, but I found out that the spring diameter was the same as some F150 4x4s, so you might be able to find something that will fit.
