Default Tires

What are the biggest tires that will fit on my stock 1993 F-150 rims. Will 35-12.50-15 fit. Also what is the bolt pattern for the wheels for this truck.

The tires will fit but they will look like a donut and won't be worth many miles if driven on the street. Your bolt pattern is 5x5.5. To run that wide of a tire on the street you really shouldn't use less than a 10" rim.

Anyone know what the largest tire one can run on a 2wd 1990 F150. I also plan on adding a leaf in the back and leveling coils up front. Thanks for any info..

with the leveling coils up front, you could probably clear 35's w/ scrubbage. but you gotta remember what kind of stress your putting on everything. the twin I-beam front starts to get unreliable at that size and hard to manage. 33's a/t would be perfect.

I imagine I wouldn't go above 32's. What I need is a tire that will do well on the road, i.e. good ride, long tread life, and not noisy as well as pretty good traction when I might take my truck into my field or take my camper down dirt roads for some boondocking. Any advice on what kind of tire might best achieve these goals? Thanks.
