Hey all,
I own a 2003 f-150 2wd and im planning on installing a leveling kit to raise the front end. The truck is also due for some tires soon as well. Im curious whats the biggest tire i could fit without any rubbing? Ill be using the stock 16inch rims btw.

 

Go 285's, even with 16" rims it looks sweet.

 

I'd go with a 265/75-16 or a 285/75-16 since you are lifting the front.

 

Anyone have any pics of a 2wd with a front level and 285x16's or 265x16's?

 

So you think 285's will clear the fenderwells? Im just worried about bumpsteer or bottoming out and causing some damage.

The tires im thinking about are bfgoodrich allterrains or michelin ltx m/s. Two completely different looking tires, i want the agressive look that the allterrains give but the ltx is cheaper and have a longer treadwear. Any suggestions from people who have experience with either of these tires would be appreciated.

 

I have over 48,000 miles on my BFG AT KO's and love them. I expect them to make it to 60,000 miles easily.

 

Will 285's fit on a 16"x7" wheel? Most say the minimum wheel size is 7.5" but a shop here told me that 285's will fit on my wheels?

 

yeah you'll be fine people do it all the time.

 

Well the truck i have has the 4.2 w/5 speed. Its a 2wd and like i mentioned above i want to install a leveling kit is there gonna be any rubbing with a 285/75 X 16 tire?

 

answer. and they shouldnt rub, if they do it would be very minor, little valence trim's all
