Will 265/75/16's fit on a 97 2wd F150 with factory 16x7 chrome rims? Please advise. Thanks.

 

There were a couple of guys here a while back that said they had 285/75/16's on a stock 4x2 on the stock rims. So you SHOULD be okay. I wouldn't be suprised if they rub a little on bumpy turns though. But thats not too big a deal

Call me a liar, I dont care many people have called me one before on this subject. Until they get the tape measure out on my tires. I have a 4x2 with 32 inch tires. Yes 32 inches. It does run on EXTREMELY tight turns and bumps dont help.

Comming soon:

clear corner lenses,brush guard, blackouts,
edlebrock shocks, hypertech, K&N induction system,KC highlighters,
bed xtender, BOSE audio or infinity gold, disc changer,
side steps, dixie horn, white faaced gauges, and those small fender flares some 4x4's have,
matching boddy color of course, and some of those door guards,ventshade visors, power pulleys, that is all
i can think of right now

 

They should. I had em on my 4X4. They are about 31.6 inches tall. My stocks were 255/70's at about 30. something inches if I remember correctly. So you will gain 3/4 of an inch. Count on your speedo and effective gear ratio to change but I think they will fit alright.

 

Waldo0506,

What brand of tires do you have? Got any pics you could post?

I have 285/75/16 on my 4X2 with an aftermarket wheel and it runs good with no rubbing that i can see and i have hit some big speed bumps. What i would like to see if anyone can help is there a way to tell how much the speedometer is out. I had the stock 255/70/16 before.

 

Hey Max... Do you have pictures of this 285's tires on your truck, I have a 01 supercrew and the guys at the local Discount tires shop said that those tires are way to big for the truck. Who ealse have the 285's on a 4x2 w/out a lift?

thanks.

RED, I DONT HAVE A DIGITAL CAMERA, BUT WILL TRY TO BORROW ONE AND TAKE PICTURES. I WAS A LITTLE CONCERNED THAT THEY WOULD NOT FIT, AND HAVE BEEN KEEPING A CLOSE WATCH ON THE TIRES FOR RUBBING AND THEY LOOK OK. THEY LOOK GREAT, FILLS IN THE WHEEL WELLS GOOD.

 

Thanks Max.
