would this work?

this should be just a cut and dry question. i have a 75 f250 highboy (its in my gallery). the height is totally stock as far as i know. i'm told by quite a few people i can run 36 12.50s on it as the biggest tire i can run on it without much rubbing. anyway, on ebay, theres a set of michelin military tires that are about 37x11 for a 16 inch rim. would the narrowness of the tire allow me to run it? or am i gonna have to lift?


thanks guys

more than likely you should be able to run them with minimal lift. least you won't be rubbing on the leafs.

what sized tires are you running in that pic?

You will rub with 37s if you don't lift or trim your fenders. Its one or the other...

the tires in the pics are 245 75 16s or something in that neighborhood. i was just wandering about the michelins because i always understood the general rule for highboys to max at 36x12.50 16. i didnt know if being less 1.5in width would let me run it. i'm probably gonna end up running the tires that are on a plow truck at the property until i can afford to lift and run something in the 40 range. sucks being a broke college student.
