I went from 285/75/16 BFG AT on American Racing Wheels (stock for SMB 4x4) to 305/70/16 Toyo Open Country MT on the same wheels. No problems, fit great, both are 33" spec, but the E range is so much more solid it feels safer.

Will post a full review later, but wanted to chime in on the size thread.

We are running 315/70R17 (35's) BFG All Terrain D rated (3195@50psi) , truck weighs just shy 10,000 lbs fully loaded. We get no rubbing whatsoever. No problem with the 4.10's and the v10. Flat tows our TJ just fine as well.

Just and FYI superduty rims are the wrong bolt pattern for SMB converted 4x4.

Yes. All E Series vans from Ford should be 8 on 6.5.

Are you positive? This doesn't make any sense. Anyone else with a 08 confirm this?
