hello,
i was wanting to know what is the biggest tire that i can put on my stock rims.i have a 2002 ford f150 xlt 4x2. i have 245x70x16. i was wanting to know if i could put like 275s or 285 or maybe 265

 

Well I know my dads 01 screw 4x2 has 275/60/17s on it stock.. Which is like a 30.1 inch tall about.. I mean he could fit probably 285s you need to measure to see..

 

The best combo for a stock 4x2 is 265/70/17 Thats what im running on bfg at ko's. It looks great! Not too stuffed and not too small, just the rite size!!

 

The biggest you can fit without rubbing or any trimming is a 265/75/16 with your stock 16 inch rim. They are all giving you different sizes because they all have different rim sizes....

 

Also consider 265/70/16s (30.6in), I just put them on mine and the speedometer error is negliable, on your truck it will read 3.7% too slow.

 

The biggest size you can fit is 265/75/16. Anything smaller than that and yes, you will fit it.

 

That's what i've got on mine, and they look great... big difference over those stock size pieces of crap

 

I have this size on my truck and they fit with no prob. I have heard of 285/75/16 but there is rubbing involved. That would be a gamble.

 

im running 265/75 yokohamas with 16 inch stocks. i wanna get new rims but i dont wanna replace the new rubber, anyone know of a nice 16 inch rim?

 

2wd F-150's came with three different size tires (excluding Lightning).
235/70R16, 255/70R16, and 275/60R17. If your truck does indeed have the 245/70R16, then I am guessing it was replaced at one time with the wrong size. With a stock rim, you could try the 255/70R16 or if you are upgrading go with the 275/60R17. They are actually both the identical height and it won't be necessary to reprogram the PCM should you go with the larger wheel. Of course, it all depends on what kind of look you want too. If you want the look of a 4wd then possible a 265/70R17. This is considerably taller than the others. Hope this helps you out. To determine what size your truck came with from the factory look at the sticker inside the drivers door jam.

 

just double checked and ya they are 16. tire has written on it" 265/75/r16. ive never replaced the rims on it and i bought new. as for the look, i want i guess the best of both worlds. something with some bling, but will look like there ready for mud at any time. i know i might be wishing but....
