Pic Request - Tires on Mega Cab

Well, I just got my Mega Cab and that means time for new tires. The stock 265's ain't gonna cut it. I had BF 315/70/70's on my last truck. While they were okay, I've found my self considering a set of 285 Toyo's. Could I request pictures of a Mega Cab with 285 or 315. Tryign to make up my mind on how big I want to go.

I see my mud flaps are going to rub at full turn when my '07 comes in. It appears I'm not going to solve the problem with a leveling kit either.

I guess, I just won't turn the steering wheel.

Seems as if they're making the wheel wells smaller too from the 2nd gens to discourage real tires as well.

I can't believe that. You have any pics?

A new F350 needs 4" to clear 35's.
