Ok thanks! It seems like there's limited selection of tires with a 33x10.5x15. I was thinking about switching to 32x11.5x15 , I just don't want to much of the tire going past the rims. Any pics of your truck?

I've got 32x11.5x15 on factory 7.5 wide alcoa rims and I don't have any issues, other than a light rubbing on the radius arm at full lock - with a little more offset wheel it would probably be eliminated, though then you might have to space the bumper out a little bit. I have Moog cc824 coils up front and F250 leafs in the rear, so it is about 1-1.5" higher than stock height for both.

Awesome truck ! I wish mine was that clean! And thanks for responding. I think I'm going to go with the 15x8s with 11.5 in wide tires. It doesn't seem like I would have too much tire hanging out over the rim.

I want to go with a 17" tires / wheel package. Thoughts?? 285/70/17's is what I'm leaning toward. Any issues? BTW......also plan to take off the running boards!

I have a 1995 F150 4x4 SWB Auto truck.

I think it would look clean without the running boards! I have a cap on mine I'm looking to get rid of !
