I am ready to put new tires on my 1999 F-150 4x4. The stock size is 255/70R-16. My plan is 16x8 rims with either 265/75R-16 or 285/75R-16.
The 265's are a conservative option. I am unsure of the 285's as far as rubbing or speedo and computer problems. My stock rims are 16x7. I will be keep the same backspacing but would like to try a wider rim. Is this a good idea. Is anyone else running one of these combos on their truck? Any pictures?

p.s. The wheels will be AR Baja or AR 767

Thanks,
Brad

I think that you may need to use some backspacers though, the chart will tell you if you need to.
