Tire Size

I have a 2002 f150 reg cab sport with the 255 70 16's
I was wondering what is the widest best looking tire I can put on the stock rims?
Thanks

Do you have a 4x4 or a 4x2? Also, what type of tires are you thinking about? Do you want a street tire or an off-road style tire?
If you want an off-road tire and have a 4x4, you could run a 285/75-16 (33x11.50) easily. You could also fit a 305/70-16 (33x12.50) but your stock 16x7 rims are a little too narrow for them and would make the center of the tire wear a little faster. If you have a 4x2 and want an off-road style tire, you could easily fit a 265/75-16 (32x10.50) on your truck. A 285/75-16 would also fit, but it would be a close fit and you would probably have to trim a little plastic off your front bumper's lower plastic valance.

I have a 4x2 and just want wider street tires not off road at all
on my old trucks that had 15" wheels I like the look of the 275/60/15. Is there a 16" that looks comperable to that one?

Thanks all
