Got a 95 f150 5.0, whats up with the 235 tires?

Hey guys this is my first Ford, what size can I go to on the tires with out a lift. I dont want new rims the stock ones are in great shape. Like said above 95 Eddie F150 5.0, M/hubs, heavy duty auto, dual tanks.

Also there is squeal comming from the engine, it doesnt happen when the motor is idealing, giving it gas doesnt make it do it. It does it over like 5 miles an hour. But like when you are comming to a stop under 5 mile an hour it stops? Any one know what that is? Thanks Beau

Welcome to the Forum.

31x10.50R15 w/o rubbing is the biggest for your model with the stock height.

On a 95 with an electronically controlled tranny, when you change tire sizes you have to reprogram your speedo or the tranny won't work properly

33x12.5 will fit under with minor radius arm rubbing at full lock if you space out the front bumper with some washers.

Looks better too.

if 33's fit then 32's should fit right? Ive still got some 32's that I could mount on there.

But you have a 95, his 80's Bronco has better bumper clearance and does not have the bumper design that the 92-96 F-150's do.

I think there's MORE room under '87-96 because of the different bumper/fender design. I run 32s w/no lift at all, and they almost touch. It seems like there was less interference on the later trucks, even before spacing the bumper forward.
