For the well pretty good. Lock to lock at ride height and 1/2" clearance at closest points.

They are just about even with the steps,,,

Are you sure those are 285s? They seem to stick out a lot further than the 285s I've seen.

And I don't remember anyone saying you need a lift to run 285s. In fact I read quite the opposite. Anyway, congrats. Tires look good on your truck.

9" wide wheel. Makes the sides budge out a bit more I guess.

Right on. Makes sense. I guess it could be a different offset as well. Dumb question on my behalf.

I went with the 9" wheel cause I wanted the tire to sit square on the wheel. The 285/70 fits perfectly. As far as the lift goes I just did a bunch of reading and every post I say was running a leveling kit to fit the 285's. Maybe on the stock width she'll makes it fit differently??? I have no idea. I have the rancho 3" kit that I will probably put in anyways.

What size are those tires? 285/70r18's? And what's your rim size? (Width)

285/70/17

I sure you'll be fine on paved roads normal driving, but 1/2" clearance won't cut it if you use your truck as a truck off road or in the snow.

I like the style of the wheels. I've seen enough F150s with ugly black wheels to last a lifetime.

I think they stick out more because the offset of the aftermarket rims is different than the factory wheels.

Yea I figured that out after I made a fool of myself. I'm off my game today.
