whats up, i have a 2000 f150 XLT extended cab short bed 4x4. my truck is stock with 17in rims and 31in tires. i just bought 16x8 rims and need to get tires. i would like to fit a 33in but i don't want to lift or have any problems with rubbing.(i am thinking like 285/75RR16)
does anyone know if this will work or shoud i get 32s.
the tires i am thinking are the mikky toms radial or the bfg a/t.
thanks a lot for your help!!!!!!!!!

 

You can easily fit 285/75-16's (33x11.50) or 305/70-16's (33x12.50) on your truck using 16x8 inch wheels.

 

thanks a lot, i think i will go with the 285s, with the fun country tires.
i got my f150 6 months ago and am slowly hooking it up.
i found this sight a week ago and i love the advise u get.

 

I suggest the 305's had them on my truck for over a year now and lovem, but I am switching to a 295 next to see how they look, 285's just look a little small in my opinion

 

Get the 305 and crank on those torsion bars a bit.

Had the 35x12.50 Claws on my 01 Screw. It looked great

 

I'm also getting some 16x8 rims and new tires on my 2000 4x4. I'm leaning towards the 295/75/16 BFG A/Ts. 02sport4x4, it looks like this is the set-up you're going with soon?

The only thing I'm concerned with is if it will look like too much sidewall with only 16s. Does anyone have pics of 33" or 34" tires on a 16 inch rim? Thanks, and good luck to you guys with your new set-ups.

 

Yeah my tires are at home, just waiting for my wheels, I have the 305's on my truck right now on 16" rims, so if you check my gallery just search for it cause I don't know how to post the link, you will see how it looks, personally I like a lot of sidewall, compared to none, plus the more sidewall generally the better they ride, but it's my personal preference

 

great choice of tire i love my fc-II's what rim u gonna be runing

 

I am actually going to run Nitto Terra's, and the wheels I'm getting are the Helo Maxx 6 in black that have been on back order for what seems like forever

 

still i nice combo

 

yeah if my wheels will ever be in stock, so where are you in Iraq, I am down here in Kuwait right now at Ali Al Saleem, but I am leaving to go back home Wed.
