Default Tires

Largest tire I played around with is a 31 1050 15, Can I put 32's on my truck without problems? Truck is basically stock hight, maybe a hare higher from the new front springs and rear add a leafs.

I dunno. I have 31X10.50x15's on my flareside and at full lock they rub the dirt off my outer framerails. I'd at least lift it a little and then gofor the 33's or 35's that way you know for sure. really anyway whats the difference between 31's and 32's. its like 1/2 an inch of extra height. (someone will argue with me here they always do. "no dude its an inch bigger" yes the tires are an inch bigger but its a half an inch on either side of the diameter and theres only one of those half inches actually touching the ground)

I thought 33 10.50s would fit on stock suspension. Don't know for sure though

35 12.50s will fit with a 3 inch body lift and leveling kit in front

I had a set of 32s on my old 94 at full lock they would scrub the radius arm, they were on stock wheels with no spacers. It wasnt bad you only noticed in parking lots when trying to make tight turns.

31's look a little small on the truck, especially when they start to wear down.

It's the width that's the issue, not the height. You could put 33x10.50s on it and if it's leveled you should be ok

I have a stock front suspension on my 96 F150 4x4 and I am running 31's and they have very little clearance from the plastic valance under the front bumper. The 31's don't rub on anything at full turn. Otherwise, I would think 32's should fit okay, but I am not sure if they would rub on the suspension.

I have a 95 f150 with 33x10.50 bfg's on stock wheels and they rubbed the valance with stock springs. I put a leveling kit from the bronco graveyard and it's perfect now. A person could trim the valance for a touch more clearance or space the bumper out also

Thanks, I think I will go with the 32s. I saw some coopers in that size with the tread I like. I will make adjustments accordingly.
