Hey guys im new too this whole fourm thing but anyway. I have a 1999 f150 4x4 single cab short bed and I was wondering if i would be able to fit 33/10.5/R16 tires on my truck stock hight? I heard that at minimum you need a 3inch body lift. Right now I have 255/70/R16 tires on it. Thanks for the help...

 

On a 4x4 you can fit those with out a problem. If you want to go a little bigger you can crank your torsion bars (if you do this get an alignment). A good tire to go with would be a 285/75/16.

Welcome to the site.

 

I agree. 33x12.50's fit easily at stock height. If you are using the OEM 16x7 wheels, a 285/75-16 (33x11.50) is a great size.

 

I have bfg lt 285/75/16 on my 02 screw at stock height just trimmed the front valence a little

 

Thanks, whats a good tire that looks agressive but wears good? and somewhat cheap. other than BFG All Terrians?

 

Looking for a M/T or A/T?

 

an agressive looking A/T

 

Procomp A/T (not extreme AT)
General Grabber A/T
Goodyear Duratrac (I would call this a mix b/t an AT and a MT)
BFG KO (I know you said not them, but they are a great tire)
Mickey Thompson, BAJA ATZ (I think these have the solid center tread in your size)
Nitto Terra Grappler
Toyo OpenCountry A/T (Basically the same as the Nittos)


I personally would go with the BFG's or Nitto's as far as whats listed above. Let me know if you have more questions - but this should be a good start.

 

Thanks. I have one more question, I know this is mostly personal opinion but do you think having 33in tires on my truck will make it look werid? Being stock hight and all?

 

No, 33's will look great. I have some pics in my gallary with 33's at stock height on the OEM wheels and 16x10's.

 

Agreed, ran 33 at stock height on my 03 and it looked great.

 

thanks boys for the help!

 

it will look great. i have 305s on my truck in pro comp extreme all terrains, love them so far, i get many compliments on them

 

It'll look awesome, I got 305's on 16x10's on my truck

 

go 295 75 16 nitto terra grapplers.....aggressive tire and little bigger than the 285....they fit with ZER0 rubbing and ZER0 lift on mine
