Default Wheels and questions ...

I have a 95 XLT 4x4 with the optional 265/75SR15.0 tires and I assume are different than standard wheels to make the wider tire fit. Is the optional wheel the f150s came with the type a 31x10 15 inch tire will fit?

Right now I have some Wild Country tires which are in good shape(80%) tread still, but 1 before I bought the truck ran over a porcupine(spelling) and the guy put 1 different tire on front, still a wild country brand but I was looking at getting a replacement cause the 3 are Mud and Snow tires and 1 is all season.... and on the front..so I think it can set the steering off a little since the tire isnt as blocky of tread as the other other 3.

Or should I move the one to the back or just get a replacement to match if I can find one? The truck is mint, 43k original miles.

a 31" tire will fit on the stock 15" rim. I believe anything up to 12.5" width will fit on the stock rims but either way yes they will fit. I am a fan of having all the same tires or atleast 2 front the same and 2 back the same.

your 4x4 you want the fronts and rear tire sizes to match.

the one all season tire shouldn't matter as long as the size is the same, i would leave it on the front though, especially if you have a limited slip rear axle, you can burn out the clutches running diff size tires.

if it pulls a little you can adjust it by adding air to the front tire on the side it is pulling to.


they didnt make special rims for the 265 tire. same rims as all the other trucks.
