Stock on 33's I had to trim because of rub at full lock. 12.5" is WIDE and will depend on the tire (if it's able to stretch to the stock rim width).

Do you get tired of sounding like a broken record?

Copy & paste ftw. It's a sticky for a reason...

It would be much easier as a bright red, bold popup that you have to close before proceeding to create a thread.

33/12.5/16 do fit on stock rims. But just barely. Any wider and you have to go aftermarket rims.

Short answer in Tackles defense... NO!
We all get tired of this question being asked 10 times a day. You can literally go through current threads, and this subject has been covered time and time again. Not to be a ***** towards you directly or anything. So please don't take it like that.

Just FYI I didn't mean to make it sound like you always repeat yourself. I meant are you tired of always having to answer repeat questions. Not just a thread in particular but tackle has Answered atleast a dozen of these daily threads in the last couple days

That really depends on the wheel offset. From my searching stock wheels with 35's will only rub frame at full lock. From my understanding. Now most 305's aren't a true 12.50, most measure to be a 12.00
My next set will be either 305's or 315's. Mine was special ordered from the factory with a lot of things that weren't available to a single cab short wheel base. And seems to sit up higher than most F150's even screws. Granted this could be I have basically new shocks. A number of things could account. But at full lock with 285's I have a good inch if not better before my tires hit the bottom most part of the valence at full lock, even before I cranked my t-bars. Now some say 285's measure out to 32.8" my mud country's measured out to 33.1" 305's will fit no problem with a t-bar crank.
