Default Largest tire size on stock wheel??

hello, and im sure that many people have posted this before me, and i apologize for that but what is the largest tire size that i can fit on my truck without ANY rubbing at all or lifting the truck?? i have a 1996 F-150 2wd with 15 inch wheels. Right now it still has the factory tires on it 235s. I've heard that 245 is the biggest i can get without lifting it and i've also heard 31s.

31x10.50, depending on which tire you buy, will never rub. I have a set of 31x10.50s and they rub slightly at full lock, but it's ok because I never turned that before I had them anyway.

A 265 width is roughly 10.5 inches also.

Asking in the section for '97+ F150's will probably get you better answers

Man, your truck looks LOW! I know mine has a leveling kit, but only on the front, and I don't have a lift, and mine looks like a full 5 or so inches higher!

Just noticed yours was 2WD, different clearances make sense now, muh bad.

I probably have sagging shocks/springs all the way around haha. If could juts be the picture too, I'll give you some measuements to help your mind out.

The front bumper is 16 inches off the ground, the middle of the door is 18 off the ground, and right in front of the rear wheel is like 19.5-20 I think (don't quote me on the rear, I remember the first 2 for sure)
