2002 F250 SD Tire Fit Question

Hello all, I'm new to this forum, so I will apologize if this question is asked every day, LOL. OK Here goes. I have a 2002 F250 SD 4x4 Super crew V10 and I'm looking at replacing the factory tires. It currently has the Firestone 265/75/16 tires. I want to put the biggest tires I can on the Factory 16 in rims and not have clearance issues. I do not want to get into a lift kit. The truck sits pretty high stock, the measurement from the ground to the top of the WW is 38 3/4 front and 39 3/4 rear if that helps. I want to fill up the WW and not have turning clearance issues. Thanks in advance for the help.

I have 285/75R16s on my 04' (Stock susp) and IMO they are the perfect size tire. They don't rub and fill the wheel wells out nicely. They also won't throw off your speedo and will not put much extra load on the motor/trans.

I have 285 75 r16's for my truck in the winter. fit well on the stock rims with stock suspension. You really can't go much bigger on the stock wheels.

I installed 305 Nitto Terra Grapplers soon after buying my 02 (on the stock Lariat rims) and they fit perfectly! I am now running 315 BFG AT KO's on some ProComp(17x9) rims
They fit fine in back, but do rub a litte at full turns in front!
