I've got an 01 f150 supercrew with a 6" suspension and a 3" body...Will the 11.00r16 Michelin XZL military tire fit? It measures out to almost a 39" inch tire when mounted and filled...

 

I doubt it. Also, that tire is gonna be extremely heavy even by big tire standards.

 

Yessir, right around 100 lbs a tire, and i'm gonna make them fit!

 

 

^^ That's a little disturbing... haha

 

BrainDonor, I am about to die laughing at your pic/response.

FLDuckHunter, those tires are going to be crazy I hope this truck is not your everyday driver. What tires are you currently running?

 

It is my DD, The tires are NASTY...I don't do a lot of driving though... I'm currently running bfg 315/75/16's...WAY too much space left in my wheel wells...Gotta fill the gap :P

 

Is it safe to say you are wanting to stick with your 16" rim and go up in tire size? If these are your factory rims your issue becomes the rim width when trying to find a larger tire but there are some other options out there:

TSL SSR 37x12.50x16
Parnelli Jones Dirt Grip 37x12.50x16
TSL M16 37x13.50x16 (pushing it on factory rim)

HOWEVER if you have a wider rim there are many more options out there that start falling in the 37-38" tire with widths around 14".

 

You hit it on the nail with sticking with the 16" wheel... As far as the width, i'm running a 16x8 ultra motorsports wheel. I got these tires with about 500 miles on them for 450 bucks... These tires will probably outlast my truck... And you RARELY see people riding around on the michelin militarys, mostly the goodyears

 

OHHH so you already have the tires....?

 

Yup..I'll probably have them mounted next monday... I'll post pics then... They way i'm looking at it, i will definately have to do some fender trimming, but not too worried otherwise..

 

Sounds good, cant wait to see them....

 

Ain't a tire that big and heavy going to wear out the front suspension insanely fast, don't get me wrong that sounds really sweet but 39's are really big for IFS

 

yeah, CV's are gonna snap like twigs.. but they are good tires.

I will be running the 49" Michelins eventually.

 

You still getting these put on today? Cant wait to hear about/see them.
