What hits and what fits?
Does anyone have a what hits and what fits tire guide for a 97 F350 4x4? I have 285/75/16 on now and am thinking about filling up the fenderwells a bit more.

You can run 315/75r16 tires (same as 35x12.5). I'd run them on a 10" wide rim with 4" backspacing or less so they won't rub at full lock. The bumper might need to get trimmed though.

I'm running 33x12.5x15's on stock Ford rims on my '92 2wd with a 3" body lift and 1.5" level. They fit just fine... rub on full lock but there's an easy fix to that. Just don't turn so sharp.

Yeah, haha. I like the look of 33's on 7.5" wide rims better than 10" wide rims too.

The down side is that you end up with a turning radius somewhere in the neighborhood of a small state.
