got my 285/70/17 BFG A/T's on today

I was going to put the white letters out but the tire was black on both sides

Looks good! Any rubbing? I was thinking of going to 285's on mine but was afraid they'd rub. And whats a "Special Edition Silverado" or is it just a decal?

Looks good! I loved my BFGs when I had em and I'm sure you will too!

PS - From what I see in the pics it looks like they'll have plenty of white on em anyway!

They look good on there-just in time for winter too!

I've had those on my last two trucks and they never let me down. I have the same size as yours on my F250 right now. The stock tires were those narrow 235/85R16s and the 285s fill my wheelwells up alot better. Good luck with them-you'll like 'em!

no rubbing that i can tell

When i was chosing my options, there was a package for the chrome step bars, fog light and fender flares....i think it was called the fleetside appearance package or something like that

instead of ordering my truck, they found one 10 hours away in northern ontario but the package was called the "Special Edition Package" which had the same options but included decals

so i had them ship it to southern ontario and i havent seen one with that decal on it around here

I think the "Special Edition" trucks vary state to state. In CA the Silverado Special Edition is with the performance suspension on a 2wd truck with the factory 20" wheels. And we also have a Special Edition HO with the sport suspension, 20" wheels and the 2wd 345hp 6.0L HO. I almost bought one of those but I ended up with my crew cab instead.

Great looking truck! Seeing your truck with the blackwalls on it, I'm not so sure that white letter tires would have looked any better now. But if you get the urge to have RWL anyway, there's white tire paint markers available that can save you the cost of new tires by letting you paint the black letters on the tires you have. (My father bought one of those a few years ago to touch up some RWL tires he'd scuffed pretty bad)
