Tire fitment question

Ive got a 1998 2wd F150 that I put a 3inch Rough Country spindle and block lift on. I was wonderin if anybody has had this put on their 2wd and would know what the biggest size tire is that I can fit at least 33x12.50R16 if possible. Oh and I also have stock rims.

If you are gonna keep the oem wheels, I'd go with a 285/75-16 which is basically a 33x11.50 tire. A 33x12.50 (305/70-16) will fit, but they are a little too wide for the oem 16x7 wheels.

thanks. 285/75R16 was wut i was planing on goin with. Im planing on gettin some Nitto Terra Grapplers and i have already anticipated that im goin to have to cut some plastic out of the inside of the fender to make way for 33s. Im not to satisfied with the lift, but hey its all i could afford and its workin fine so im happy.

The reason i know i have to cut some plastic is because i work at a mechanic shop and i took some almost bald 285/75R16 Timberline MTs and put them in the front and they rubbed in the back of the front fender by just a little bit. The reason for this was because the lift that i bought, the spindles that came with it move the front wheels back in the fender some.
