Default How big a tire on F-150 7700?

Hi, I'm new to this site. I recently got an 01 F-150 7700 4x4. It's riding on 245 75 R16 tires that are about shot. I was wondering how big of a tire I can get under my new truck without worrying about any rubbing when I take it off-road. I'd appreciate any help I can get. Also, I'm looking for any suggestions for a good All-Terrain tires. I've used BFG A/Ts before but wasn't impressed with the tread life.

Thanks,
-Derek

I had 285 75 R16's on my 97 F250 LD that did not rub at all. Right know I have 315 75 R16's that rub a little bit when you turn the wheel all the way. Firestone destination all terrains are good.

You can run 35s and just trim your valence a little bit and you may rub at full lock but not offroad or you can run 33s with no rub at all. Also Toyos are really good with long tread life I'm currently running guard dogs from treadwright 33s for a 130 bucks a tire for mts and I'm really impreased with them so far.
