i wanted to do a final check on my tire size before i finalize my deal on new tires.

i have a 98 2wd f150 with a 1.5" daystar leveling kit and i want to run 295/75/16's on my stock wheels. These tires are essentially 33.4"x11.6" and my question is will i have any clearance issues or rubbing or has anyone run this type of setup

im ready to get them today but i just wanna make one final check first.

thanks

 

With only the 1.5" leveling kit I think that will be pushing it, they may rub, what tire are you looking at, so that I can see what sizes are available?

 

they are bfg all-terrains. they are used and have about 70% tread on them currently. will this make a difference

 

70% will not make much difference, are you getting them at a great deal? Depending on the price you may want to consider a 285/75, its only about an inch difference but I think you will be better off.

Hopefully someone will chime in who has tried that 295/17 combo on a 4x2.

I am only speculating, but I dont know if 1.5 will get you high enough to clear that 33.4 tire.

Any chance you can "try them out" before you buy them?

 

I can have discount put them on to try then see if they will.
I've found 295/75 for 300 or 285/75 for about the same with similar tread left on both. I may do the 285's then to avoid issues

 

Smart Man, those will still be stuffed in there pretty tight (but you should be ok), I know you dont want to hear this but there is always the 275 too!!

 

Haha i dont wanna but i decided just to go with the 285's for 330 mounted and balanced

thanks for the help

 

No problem, post some pics once your done.

 

Well if its any consolation I have 285/75/r16's on the blue truck in my sig. They dont rub at all unless I turn really sharp to the left in reverse and happen to be on an incline. I dont have a leveling kit or anything. Also, the 285's I have on M/T's. Personally, I dont think you will have a problem if you have a leveling kit. I would try them on there, but I think youll be fine.

 

is yours a 2wd? for now im gonna stick with what i know will work in the 285's and if after they wear out and i know i have enough room i may go bigger.

im gonna get pics up hopefully on tuesday night because the lights for my light bar will be here and i want to get so shots once the exterior is mostly completed.

 

No mine is 4x4. Look forward to seeing the pics!!

 

If you were asking me, then the blue one is 2wd yes. And no suspension upgrades/modifications of any kind and 285's fit perfect.

 

285/75R16's installed and no rubbing = Excited

heres are the pics

 

Good deal, pics not showing up here at work, will look once I get home. Glad to hear they fit, do you think the 295 would have made it?

 

i had my dad turn the wheel both directions while i was under the truck to see the clearances and theres a chance they would have fit being that they are only .4" wider and .7" taller but im satisfied until these wear out.
it was bad because when i was at discount and they had the truck up in the air and mounted the one side and the tires almost touched the ground it made me want a 3 to 6" kit. but thats for another time.
