Drive a 02 f350 drw. Wanting to put a 2" levelin kit and new tires. What's the biggest i can go with that and not rub. And what's an aggressive looking tire that still does good on the highway? Thanks

Are you planning to keep your stock wheels or upgrade them as well?

Your stock wheels are only 16x7. The factory 265/75R16 is really the largest tire you should run on these wheels. Upgrade them to a 16x8 or wider and you could easily run a 285/75R16.

Just squeezed the trigger on some Nitto Terra's myself. Hope they work out first run on the Nitto brand.

There are no tire models that I am aware of produced in size 255/80-16. Tire size 255/85-16 will work but doesn't offer many choices and most models are on back order in this size.

Like we noted before, 285/75-16 will work but is best used on a wider wheel.

As far as tires go I would suggest either the Terra Grapplers, or the M/T ATZ's

They are by far the two best looking all-terrain tires with decent wear IMO. The ATZ's are more aggressive looking but are more money They both do great milage wise
