Question Big tires on stock x-cab 4x2?

Whats up guys? I have one little question. What is the largest tire that I can run on stock hieght? (w/o rubbing) Planning on new rims and tires, but no lift as of yet, not sure if ever. Thanks. Any Pics would help.

With all of that out of the way, lets get to the good stuff:
STEREO: Special thanks to Josh & Popps @ www.radio-active.org [*]H/Unit SONY Xplod ES CDX-M750[*] F/Speakers Rockford's Fanatic Q Components FNQ2514(THEY SUCK AND ARE NOW GONE)[*] NEW F/speakers are Memphis studios 5X7[*] R/Speakers Rockford's FRC1257 5x7[*] Sub:PheonixGold XS 10" in prefab box under bench seat w/o lift.[*] Memphis Amp ST3004 with front channels running seperates and rear channel running the sub. 5x7 running off H/U
I'm going to change my whole set up.
Under D'Hood:[*] Only a K&N filter.
Its lame, you have to start somewhere right? Trust me, I dream BIG.
On D'Skin:[*] Bug Deflector[*] One Vent Visior, other fell off[*] windshield sticker for www.radio-active.org [*] Hyperwhite headlight bulbs[*] Clear quarter & back glass for an even tint. Thanks Progressive![*] Custom door dings from some A$$HOLE in a parking lot on both sides.
At the moment I am running pretty stock on the outside, but the truck is clean and I have even BIGGER ideas for the outside. SC just got one step closer a lottery so maybe there is still hope.

F150Degrees,

Try this out



To figure tire height use this formula;
Tire size example 265/75R/16

265 divided by 25.4x.75x2+16 = tire height
265/25.4x.75x2+16 = 31.649”

First off, F&B, you are intirely to damn smart for your own good! But thanks, b/c I never would have figured that one out. Do they make a 32/12.5/16 or would that be pushin it? I can get 10 inch rims with no problem, they will have to be made no matter what I go with. Basically I want a FAT DADDY tire for the wheel. Thanks for all the reasponses. Jeff

f150degrees,
pls. post some pics when you get your new wheels and tires,
I'm also looking for bigger tires for a 4X2, was thinking of the 17" rims from the 4X4 lariat, but very few manufactures make tires for those size rims, biggest i found was 265/70s.
I want the same height or higher than a 4X4 on a 4X2... whithout a lift... think its possible?
