Tire size questions...

I am looking at getting some bigger tires as I'm currently using 235/75/15 and they look goofy with my lifted pickup. I added the cc844 springs up front and have 2 additional leafs in the rear.

I tried some 32x11.5r15's today and they fit real well and looked great, my problem was that two of the tires were dry rotted pretty bad so I passed. Do you think I could fit 33x12.5r15 up front with the coils that I am running? It looked as though the 32x11.5 wranglers didn't have a clearance issue, but I wasn't sure if the 33's would start running me into issues with the extra width at 12.5".

Thanks guys.

I'm rocking a 1994 4x4 F150.

I ran 33-12.50-15's on my stock 85' with minimal rubbing on full lock.with a any lift on the front and the rite off set wheels you should be fine with 33's

Ok cool. That's what I wanted to know. I am running 9" wide rims currently. So that was my only big concern. I was thinking they may rub the radius arms.

Think I could fit 35's? I know 32's fit with ease.

Ok thanks. Last question...

Are there any 16" wheels that fit our 5.5 spacing? I'm looking locally for used tires and I can find decent 16" tires for sale for good prices. But people are wanting an arm and a leg for 15" tires. Was hoping maybe I could find a 16" set of wheels and get some tires that fit since 16's seem to be abundant.
