I purchased new 16X8.5 Rims with 305X70X16 BFG All terrains last summer before I decided to get a TC. They are the same 33" as 285X75 but about an inch wider. I have no complaints, but would have probably gone with 285X75X16's just for a little more capacity which is 3750 compared to mine @ 3550. I'm a little under 7,000 pounds fully loaded rear axle, so not a lot of wiggle room but am glad the wheels are 8.5", think this helps a lot over stock 7".
BTW, love the BFG's. They seem pretty stiff aired up and then I air them down when not hauling my TC. Older Ford Super Duties have a very rough suspension. These tires seem very well built.
area13...what 16 x 8.5 wheels did you buy and are they hub centric?
