Default 1994 ford flare side

Am picking up a 1994 flare side for $1000.

Needs some cosmetics but nothing I can't handle; my question is about the tires.

I forgot to ask the size of the tires, anyone have any idea ?
Love the truck but the stock tires are way too puney for me.

Thanks, James.

what size are your stockers? 235/75/15 or 265/75/15
either way id recomend 31 10.5 15s and i bet that will be the general concensus...

265/75/15's

I'm guessing your numbers are configured to inches ?

Sorry if I'm wrong, I'm still new to this kinda stuff

it is slightly under 31" but 31s give the wheel wells a nice "filled out" look


is it 4wd or 2wd?

Exactly alike ! Only mine's a pretty worn out green color instead

But dang that truck's going to be a beast after the new lift kit and tires.

Any suggestions on a good site to buy a lift kit for my truck ?

Thanks for the pics and quick replies too man.

It's my first car so i'm in desperate need of some serious guidance

im going to be doing a rough country lift for the cost. for the lift and all accessories i want with it (steering stabilzers, brake lines, upgraded shocks) for like $770 shipped.
figure that and the cost of my used tires and wheels the cost of the whole setup will be under $1100
