I was wondering if it is possible to fit 305/70/16 tires on a stock 99 F-150 4x4 with the torsion bars cranked? Also is it possible to avoid the hubcentric wheels if I buy new ones. If not who makes a true hubcentric wheel that is actually centered. I have heard of people buying after market rims then they will not be centered correctely and it causes all sorts of vibrations.

 

I put 305/70/16 on my 97 F150 and i havent even crancked up the torsion they fit perfectly fine.

This is a picture of my '97 before I sold it and the Crew that replaced it. The tires fit and ride great. So much so I put them on both of my trucks! I lifted the front of both trucks using the torsion bar technique but they would have fit without it. Also, the front mud flaps on the '97 rubbed a little but nothing the Dremmel couldn't take care of. Just a little trim here and there.

Good luck!
