tire size

[deathstroke97]

i have a 97 F-350 and was wondering how big i can go on tire size with stock suspension. no lifts no bags no leveling kit.

im pretty sure 33's will fit with minimal rubbing if any at all.

i think the biggest will be a 285, i think, others will help more than i can

Biggest would be a 33 any bigger and you would have to do some trimming

ok thanks guys i figured i could get away with 33 but didnt wanna spend all that money and rub like hell

I have 285/75 R16 and the only place mine rub are when I'm turning at a certain point they just barely touch the bottom corner of the bumper but is all i did was trim about an inch off the bumper and it doesn't touch it even if i hit a bump when turning.

Thats all the trimming I had to do too when I had 285s on before the lift, its not bad at all and the 33s will look good

I fit 33x12.50 and the only time they would rub was when you turning and hit a pot hole. The way I fixed it was by putting 3/4 of an inch of pipe between the bumper and the brackets. This gave plenty of room for mt's.

I put 35's, actually 315-75-16's on mine. I had to round off the bottom corner of the bumper on each side but you cant even tell. I also rub on the leaf springs when I turn too tight but it wasn't anything I couldn't deal with. I would think the rubbing would happen with any tire that was 12.5 in wide, even 33's but im not sure.

well im looking at putting super swamper ssr's on it because they are havin a sell on them buy 3 get on free and i can get 33-12.50-16 for $381. that a deal hard to beat i want to put some rims on it but ill wait till i put a 4 inch lift and go to 35's but i need tires now and the 265 or whatever i have now look to smalll for my truck
