Im sure you would be ok with a 31x10.50/15, but don't hold me to it. Your tires are 235 what x15. You told us the width but whats the heigth ratio on your current tires?

i have a 1990 lariat ... 5.0 automatic trans. just to clear that up lol

i went from 235/75/15 to 31x10.5x15 and it clears em just fine except the tires will rub when turned to the full extent. i live in the country and i really never have to make those kinds of turns. i honestly have only heard them rub twice. and i have had it about a month. so good luck and again, you should be just fine

I also have a 2WD F-150 that has 31x10.5's on it. It only rubs when the wheel is turned all the way. The back looks like it could easily fit 33"tires!

yep, they will fit no problem, dont think mine have ever rubbed, but i think the rims i have, have a little diffrent offset then the stock ones, you'll be fine, and it will look a whole lot better

31x10.50x15s will fit fine. 33s you'll need a 2 inch front lift for

Ive seen 2 inch leveling coils for $128.00. That's the price they run new just about everywhere
