Tire Size Questions
Hello all,
I am in the market for some new tires and I have decided on BFG All Terrains. My question is: what are the biggest tires I can fit on my F250? It has a leveling kit but nothing else. My brother says 37" but #1 I doubt it #2 I don't want 37's. The reason I ask is because I have found that if I purchase the tires through BFG website and select a service provider there I will save a ton of money. I don't want to go to a shop and ask and have them try to suck me in.
Thanks!
P.S. It would be helpful to respond in metric units since that's what BFG uses.

Unfortunately I don't have any direct experience with the 2005-2007 generation, so I can't be of too much help. Based on my experiences with a 2003 and now a 2015, I would suspect that with a leveling kit, you could put some 34x12.5R18 or 35x12.5R18 BFG All Terrain KO2s on your truck. If you wanted to be absolutely certain they would fit, you could go with a 275/70R18(33.2"x10.9"), which is a stock size for the 20011+ Super Duties. At the very least, this will give your thread a bump so someone else can chime in.

Replying for anyone who may have this question in the future.
I went to the tire shop and they measured me up and told me.
With a leveling kit you can fit 37" tires. The tires I was looking at load capacity was not high enough for a full size truck. The largest they went was 325 65 18 which are about 35". They did not want to put the 37" on because they didnt want lawyers after them if I had a blow out.

My '06 4wd f250 is all stock. I only added 285/70/17 (33"?) BFG All Terrains. No rub on steering lock to lock or height. Mine came with crappy Continentals 245/70/17 (31"?).
There was a guy several years ago on this forum that said he had the same truck and added 315/70/17 and his would only rub a little on steer lock to lock.
