Need some help.

Hello

I've got a 98 f-150 with 16'' wheels

My tires are BALLED its sad i need new ones bad haha.

My question is would a 33in tire fit under my stock truck? And How do i know what will fit on the rim? the metric tire conversions confuse the crap out of me.

You can go with some 285/75/16 (33x11.5) on your stock rim and have no rubbing. Thats what I got on my 97.

I don't know too much about tires BUT i have one more question

I have a set of BF A/T's 255/70/16 Now i Checked out the size chart thats a 30x10.50x16

Im not worried about going as big as a 33 but will a 11.5 tire fit on my rim? since my tires now are a 10.5?

Yea it won't be a problem. I am running stock rims too (16x7) I went from a 235/70/16 which is even smaller to the 285/75/16. Also you need a 4x4 to run a 285/75/16.
