Default Widest tire

What's the widest/tallest tire you guys have run without rubbing issues on a 15x10 wheel at stock ride height on an '85 f150 or similar?

Thanks in advance!

It depends more on the back spacing of the rim. Stock wheels are 15x7. Is this for a 4x4? Stock wheels and suspension fit a 33/12.50 with a bit of rubbing on the radius arm at full lock. With proper off set rims and a 2" front coil spring spacer you can fit 35 12.50

Stock height, 2wd. I'll have to check the BS. It's primarily a drag build.

Ahh ok, you can tuck 10.50s in the rear. With the right off set you could tuck a 12.50.

Cool! That's kind of what I had in mind but figured it'd be safer to ask.
