Truck tire Question

[Hondadudeehhhh]

well im turning 16 soon and i'm looking into some tires for my truck. I want to lift it but since it's my first vehicle my parents want me to get some driving experience first (which i understand). Anyways it is a 2003 f-150 supercrew with the fx4 package and all the other goods. I was wondering what the biggest tires are that i can fit under it with out doing a lift (also keep stock gearing). I would rather put a body lift on it than do fender shaving though. I was thinking some 31'' mud terrains would work pretty well but im not positive. Any advice would be apreciated.

31" will work out fine, my friend put 33 on his f150 with out lifting it up.

There`s something I don`t understans.. you`re not even 16 yet and you already have a f-150?:ermm:

Yeah, thats a nicer truck than alot of people could ever hope to own. But ohwell, He's either paying for it or has been a good child his whole life. Either way, I wouldn't go bigger than a 31 or else I am sure you will have rubbing issues.

well 31s are sounding like the route im going to go.

It was my mom's company truck with a lot of miles for a 2003 so she's getting a new one and this one is getting passed down to me. I did work for it over the past summers and i guess they decided i deserved to have it

oh ok, that`s sweet, have fun with it:o ;)

You should be happy with that ride ;) I love my 99 supercab flareside! The stock tire diameter is around 31.5 inches assuming it already came with 265/70/R17 tires stock. You would be fine with 31's since you are within 0.5 inches of the stock diameter.

Remember, if you were to throw 35's on there or any other size, it will throw off your speedometer and will need to be recalibrated :)

33's will fit with just minor shaving.

BFG has a 32x11.5 al terain that would be my choice next time.
Mud tires are only good in the mud they suck in the snow the howl they don't handle, but hell they look good.
Go with all terains they work and look good.
these are 31x10.5 with 2.5 suspension lift on 98 taco.
Mud tires were big mistake 95% of the time and awsome 5% of the time.

[Hondadudeehhhh]

how would all terrains do in the snow?

[clutt225]

My tacoma had good year wrangler a/t 31x10.5 when I bought it.
they had half the tread and were still beter than the mud tires when they were new. Before winter I will be geting BFG's A/t

I wouldnt go with any bigger tire than 285's, those are about 33" and they work fine on my uncles truck with no clearance problems.

i have 33's on my truck.... a 05 silverado Z71 with no lift.. just the torsion bars are adjusted to lift the front and if i cut the wheel and back up it grabs the inside of my fenders and is loud as **** but they fit :D

I have an 03 F-150 FX4 with 285 bfg all terrains and looks great with no rubbing.
