Tire sizes?
I've got an 02 F-150 XL sport with 255-16-70's I'd like to have a wee bit more width say a 60 or 65 and not loose gas mileage or rub inside my fenders. So my question is any of yous know about tires. I'm pretty conservative on my likes. But I'd like a little more sport look to it. Yes I know I'll pay more but just looking at my options

I have 285/75/16's on my '02 F-150 Sport. and they don't rub at all. I did lose city milage, but I think I gained hwy milage, less RPM's, not sure though, havn't got a chance to calculate it yet.

I dont know how anyone got a 285 or bigger tire on there f150. I have tried numerous times at the shop. I worked at firestone for 3 years, and I cant tell you how many times we tried to put 285/75R 16s on an F150. everytime they would rub on the inside of the sway bar and stuff. I tred it on my 03 4X4 and it almost fit but once again in sharp turns it would rub. granted you would probably never turn that sharp driving, but it did rub. I also tried it on my 00 f150 with the same results. The only way we could get one to fit was with a small body lift. other than that the biggest tire we could put on at stock ride higth was a 265/75R16. Witch is what I use now. GL

EDIT: I should mention I have an '02 F-150 SPORT, I know the back is lifted slightly, I dunno about the front. that could be the difference.
