Welcome to the site. The largest tire you can fit is a 315/70-17 (35x12.50). You can only fit these by using your OEM 17x7.5 inch wheels. You will have some rubbing on the frame at full steering lock. I personally would not go that large unless you plan on a lift kit in the near future. I'd stick with something like a 285/70-17 (33x11.50), a 305/65-17 (33x12.50) or a 295/70-17 (34x12.00).

Everything Wandell said was very true, but with the 2.5" front end spacers like I have you can run the 315's with no problems. I got mine off Ebay for about $120.00. If you have a spring compressor, you can install them yourself...I went with the local tire store and had them do it for $50.00.

Welcome to the site!

Tuff Ford, he has an 02 which is a completely different truck than the 04-07's.
