I have a '95 F150, no lift but I have a tow package. I want to put a 2" or 3" lift on it eventually but don't have the funds yet. It's time for new tires and I think now would be the best time to upgrade my wheel size. What would be the biggest size I could get away with without spacers or lifting? I was thinking putting on 32 X 12.50. But not sure if it would fit without rubbing?? Any info would be appreciated

 

Here's a great write up with 32 x 12.5 wheels on it. The lift size looks just right.

With out a lift an with those rims I would say a 32/11.50 if it's a 4x4.

 

Word around town is the biggest tires you can fit on stock wheels without rubbing is 31x10.5. 32x11.5 will rub on the radius arm at full lock. Basically you need aftermarket wheels with more negative offset to avoid rubbing the radius arms with anything bigger than 10.5" wide.

 

Even 11;50's will rub on the radius arms at full crank.

 

I just put on 31's an I'm good on clearance, but I also have a 91.

 

would spacers fix that?

 

A 2" wheel spacer will keep you from rubbing radius arms but then you'll hit the inner fenders or at least that's what happened to me a few years back.
