If you space the front bumper out, you can run 315's(35's) If not, you can run 285-305 (both 33 inches tall) But I don't reccomend it on a stock wheel.

For some reason, Ford has changed the studs on the SuperDuty trucks. Most 99-01 models have a 14mm x 2.0 stud. Most 03-newer models have the 14mm x 1.5 stud. 2002 models can have either. It is best to check your stud size before ordering lug nuts or package deals.

I run 305 70 R16 Procomp Xterrains on 16X10 extreme alloy bead lock rims. They don't rub at all, but I do have the snow plow package which lifts the front end a little.
