Tire Size 06 4x4

I just got A 2006 F150 Supercab XLT 4x4 w/ very little 235/75/17 tires on it( W/ the painted accent wheels) I like my wheels but want bigger tires. What size can i go w/ no lift at all without rubbing. Thx

you can go to a 33 inch tire if you keep the oem wheels..keep them. if you put a leveling kit on you could fit 35 inch tires under there w really no trimming probably. depends what size you wanna go and how much $ ya wanna spend i have 33s on mine and looks great. with 35 youll have to put the spacers on and be more gas $ so its what ever youd like better

Red, I would say up to a 285x70x17{33"} or a 305x70x17{34"} with a leveling kit. That's if your wheels are 7.5" wide.

I'd go with a 285/70-17 (33x11.50), 295/70-17 (34x12.00) or a 305/65-17 (33x12.50).

The only one tire I know of in that size is the BFG AT KO. You will be fine if you use the OEM wheels.

A few companies make a 285x65x18, close to 33" tall.

I agree. I've never seen a 285/70-18 tire.

I think Im gonna wait to get the autospring 2.5 leveling kit. Will 285/70/17 tires look good w/ stock wheels and the kit? I just want a little beefier look

Red, the 285's or 295's ought to fit on your truck, I'm running the 285x70x17 Toyo AT's on mine now.

Sorry for all the questions, but one more. After doing alittle research I found wheels and tires. If i Go with the 2" Autospring leveling kit. Could i go with 17x9 wheels w/ 5.5 BackSpacing wrapped in 285/70/17 rubber? If im right it would stick out 1.5-2" farther than stock right now, correct? The wheels are Mickey Thompson Classic II's and im undecided on the rubber yet.

Yes, that combo would work. They would stick out 1.5 inches farther than the OEM wheels.
