will these tires fit under my stock 67?

I know ive posted this befor but not with these specs. I have a set of 15x8" aluminum 8 hole wheels with a 4" aprox. backspace. Will these tire sizes fit and look good in your opinion. 235-75-15 in the front and 265-70-15in the rear. I really would like to have atleast an extra inch wide in the rear end. If you dont like the tire choice could you recommend a different size.

If you have front disc brakes, the calipers might not clear the wheels. 16" wheels are much better for use with an F-250.

will 31-10.5 work in the rear. i got a nabor that has them for $20! a pair! I could run those on the rear with 235-75 in the front. It will give me a nice hotrod stance, please say they will work even with my 4" backspace.

Ask your neighbor to let you put them on, then decide.

Ditto...take one of your rims, one of the neighbor's tires, have it mounted on the rim and try it out...or compare the backspace on your stock rims with those on the other rims. That will be a good height choice...slightly higher on the rear and tall, narrow tires up front...but it will be a hopping jackrabbit when you get on it if the truck is a shortbed...might need some weight over the rear axle if you like to put your right foot into the carb a lot.

thanks for the help guys, its a longbed so no worries about hopping, I think I might go the 275-60 route in back with 225-75 in front. Should give it a decent stance in my opinion. what do you think?

I dont think id go the 31-10.50's in the front but I think they would look good on the back with 235-75's on the front. Make it sit up a little higher in the back.
