Ram II....Welcome to F150online, good to have you here with us. It's amazing how much time one can spend here.

Is your truck a stock height/lifted 4x2 or a 4x4?

I have been trying to get the same question answered, so I will provide one scenario.

I have a stock height 4X2 SuperCrew. I'd like to go as tall and wide as possible without cutting or rubbing. I'd consider going to 17" wheels if that would help, but I want to avoid the low profile tires.

Many here have 285's on their 16" rims, on 4x4s, while i'm sure that you could probably get them on a 4x2 as well, i don't know anyone with 4x2s.

Welcome to the boards, and try searcing for '285' or '16" tires' or the like.

I just put 285-75-16's on my 4x. I'd be very surprised if they fit on a 2WD. I think the best you can do is the 265s.
