biggest tire size?
i am about to buy my grandpa's 1980 F-150 2x4, A/T, with the 302. i want to put some "beefy" tires and rims on it. what is the biggest tire size i can fit with altering anything? i found a 3" body lift, but i wanted to see what i could fit stock before i think about the lift. basically let me break it down what i am lookin for. i would like to be able to fit somewhere between 30's and 33's. whatch think? can i fit those stock?

31s would do the job. i put 33s on my 84 f150 2x4, they fit at stock height but that was as big as a person could go, it looked goofy like that until i lifted it 3 inches in the rear and 2 in the front, the width of the tires would probably be best at 10.50

I have an 84 F-150 2wd with 32x11.50 on it. They rub a little at full turn and when I hit a good sized bump they hit the fender.
