Tire size on EB

[0351mike]

Does anyone happen to know the largest tire size that will fit under a stock EB. The rear well has been cut to accept the fender flares.

0351mike. I used to own a 69 half cab, that had the rear fenders cut. Without a lift I was running 33x12.50's. I am not sure you would want to go any larger. If I hit a major bump and bottomed out the tires would hit the metel of the cut fender. It never did any metel damage but it did make some small cuts in the tread. But realize I was broke and didn't have the money to put good shocks on it. I was a college student. I wouldn't be afraid to run the 33x12.50's. That is my .02 cents worth.

Thanks- that makes sense- I have owned several 73-79 trucks and broncos and 32s would fit under a stock truck- This 68 also has the rear fenders cut and I want to put the biggest tire I can to offset the 411 gearing-

my 71 had 33x12.5x15s when I bought it. Looked OK. But, I had to lift it. Had a 2.5" lift sitting in my garage from a previous project. So, I quickly put that on my Bronco and made it look tougher and not rub the meats anymore.
