those bigger tires, at the wides part of the sidewall will be under a half inch wider, and overall height will be a tiny bit over half inch overall height difference. On my truck I have about an inch of clearance and if there is mud built up on the fender the tires will rub it down to about an inch thick so I know I can't go over that on mine.

how much clearance do you have?

im not sure of the '04 f-150 but on the '02 you can fit 305/70r16 without rubbing, but they do come close.
