Wheel and Tire ?s

I'm sure this has been asked quite a few times before me, I searched a few threads to no avail.

On stock suspension, what are we looking at in terms of normal wheel and tire specs (including ET)?
Max wheel and tire specs? Specifically for 16" wheels without rubbing suspension components.

Of course I know it varies by diameter, width, ET and overall tire size; I just was curious what you guys are running out there.

Thanks guys!

PS: My overall goal is to just plumpen up my overall truck's appearance from it's slender lines now.

Truck size is dependent on how big you want to go before lifting it.

On my dads F250, we ran 33x12.5's on 16.5" wheels for years. In fact we still have them. That's the max you can go before you rub and 3/4 of a turn. 35s will fit but you'll have rubbing issues. Same for F350s. These trucks already have a factory 2" lift over F150s.

I believe 33x10.5s will fit on F150s but that's pushing it.

My 36" hmmv tires fit on my 16.5 bulletholes and actually barely grab my leaves at almost full lock left, nothing to the right though.

Just did new steering components so we will see soo enough
