Default Will it fit

Im ordering tires tomorrow, with new wheels, and I need to know if 285x70x17 will fit under my 02 F150 Lariat. It only has the stock keys under it. Will that fit without rubbing or should I crank the keys, or just order 3"Front Torsion Keys with 2" Rear Keys

You're all set, you may hafta crank the keys a bit but not much unless you have a mean offset wider aftermarket wheel...

Saying 17" on your lariat I figure you may be on stock wheels,

enjoy the new look!

Edit: just noticed you said new wheels too... I had rubbing with the same size tires with heavier offset wheels back in the day... but it was nothing major, just the bumper valance...

Oh and never waste $$ on torsion keys... They don't do anything your stock keys can't do...

Maxed stock keys and a 3" rear block in place of the 2" always looks nice as well with 33s

I am pretty sure that 285s will fit on stock 4x4 suspension. I have heard of people getting up to 33s with just the torsion crank.
