tire size stock 99.5 f250sd?

When i bought my truck it came with 285 75 16 d general grabber at2 tires (see avatar). How big of a tire can i run? I think mine are a little less than 33". I found a set of cooper stt"s 315/75/r16 but do know if they will fit.

The 315 will probably rub a little,a 2" leveling kit would cure that,or you could run 305,I don't think the 305 will rub

I believe they will fit but,like I said there could be some rub.The price is very good.At the very least,this will bump you up to the top so more folks will see it and give another opinion.They do look sharp though.

I have 35's. You can zip tie the fender well back temporarily if you plan on leveling it or permanently if there are no plans for a suspension change. They will fit, but will most likely rub the fender. Hope this helps

Just put some 315s on my 2001 and it definitely rubbed. I had to take it easy for a few days (no turning while going over bumps) until my leveling kit came. Now it will only rub in rare instances, but it still rubs. I am guessing 305s would be perfect if you are wanting to be absolutely sure.

2.5" level kit on my 99.5, 315's rub on full left turn. Only rubs springs and cause no damage to tire.
