Default 02 F150 Leveled 2WD Screw. What tires can I fit?

Searched and figured there'd be a sticky on this. Anyway, I have 16 " wheels with a zero offset if I'm reading the specs right. Running a measley 245 70 16 now and it just looks wrong. I want to see what I can run under there to make it look better tire wise. Im not wanting a bigger wheel. I am considering a lift but if I can get some tires that will give me the look I want I'll be able to put that money elsewhere. Also, I have no idea what this 31, 32, 33, 34, 35 tire business is! How do those relate to regular tire sizes like I mentioned above ? I know i know but serious question..

Thumbs up

Well, You can definately fit a set of 265/75/16's without any lift(or level)! I've been running mine with them and haven't had any rubbing issues when turning, and they did increase the ride height by about an inch. I have heard people say they can fit 285's on 16's without a lift(or level), however, they do have some rubbing when fully turned.

Default 28575r16

I leveled the frontend of my 2003 2WD Supercrew and bought 285/75R16 (33") tires for my factory rims. Unfortunately they rub on the sway bar during a tight turn. Thought about getting wheel spacers, but there were a lot of warnings about using them. Not sure what I'm going to do, but just being careful in the meantime!

Get new wheels with a different offset it'll help with the rub

x2. This is what I'm running on mine. This translates to 33" tires. I also have a 2" Daystar leveling kit on mine.
If your current wheels have no offset, then you might have some rubbing (at least I did) This was corrected when I got new 16" wheels with -5 offset. Here are a couple of pics.
