Tire Size

I HAVE RECENTLY BOUGHT A '92 F-150 SUPERCAB LONGBED WITH A INLINE 6-CYLINDER. I WANT TO EVENTUALLY PUT A LIFT ON IT, BUT FOR THE TIME BEING AM GOING TO PUT SOME BIGGER TIRES ON IT. MY QUESTION: WHAT IS THE BIGGEST TIRE I CAN PUT ON THE STOCK RIM WITHOUT ANY MODIFICATIONS TO THE TRUCK ITSELF? CAN I FIT A 31"? IS THE STOCK RIM FOR THAT YEAR A 15" X 7"? WILL IT LOOK OK? ANY RESPONSE OR PICTURES OF ANYONE'S TRUCK WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. THANK YOU!

The size of hte rim is usually stamped on the inside of the wheel. If it's a 7.5" wide wheel and 4wd truck, it'll be 32/11.5/15s. If you have a 2wd with 7" rims it'll be 31/10.5/15s.

I've been running 31-10.5s on my 93 2X F150 since new. They always looked small for the truck, but hold the ground well. find a set of "pull" wheels out there if you want a bigger footprint on a budget.

I have a '96 2wd F-150 and I had to put 30x9.50 15 on mine, the 31's were too big and were rubbing insode on tight turns.

ive heard you can "shave" the wheel well to make room if the tire hits the sides.

Save the money and wait untill you lift it. Better to buy one set of tires than two- unless you need them right know. Just my opinion.

I'm A MANIGER AT A BIG 'O' TIRE STORE IN CAMERON PARK
YOUR VEH. CAN FIT A 31X10.50R15, THE BEST SIZE TO PUT ON YOUR VEH, IS A 32X11.50R15, IT LOOKS GOOD, BUT ON A SHARP TURN IT MAY RUB ON THE RADIUS ARM, OR SWAY BAR BRACKET, GO IN TO ANY TIRE STORE AND THEY WELL TEST FIT A TIRE FOR,
