tire size question?

Hi All,
I am brand new to this forum. It looks great! I have a 73 F-250 that I'm dropping a crown vic front end in. I know other people have done this. I want to run a 20 inch detroit steel wheel on the front. Does any one have the wheel and tire specs. that will work? And what if any cutting or modding will I need to expect if I run that size. Thanks.

It's a bump though....

What did you do to YOUR bump today? - Page 244 - The FORDification.com Forums

Or....

Front: 245/40-18 on 18x8s
Rear: 295/40-20 on 20x10s

Or... buy a Wheel-Rite.

Thanks HIO Silver. I have have seen that tool, but I didn't know the name of it. There are alot of bumps out there with the cv front end. But it seems not as many dents. I got some free 255/35-20's and without the front end finished i don't know if they will fit. And I'm trying to wrap my brain around this project. Which is looking more like a long project rather than a short one.
