Wheels/tires

Hello!
new fella here! I’ve recently acquired my first ‘78’ F150 ranger! Its a long box 4x4, 400 auto in a lovely beige/brown colour scheme! I’m wanting to put for some new wheels & tires on the old girl and I’m looking for some help!
anyone know how big of a rim & tire I can go before I have to make modifications? Any help would be much appreciated
thanks

Welcome to FTE, is it all stock suspension, NO lift kit? Are you wanting normal looking 15's? Or something in the 16, 17, or 18" rims...or bling bling blacked out 20's? No matter what, you are shopping for a 5 on 5 1/2 lug nut pattern.

From what I've read on this forum (which you can do using the search bar) is that on a stock non-highboy F-series 33's are about your limit.
