tire size
i have a 2001 f250 4x4, i have the stock rims, can anyone tell me if 305/70/16 will fit or are they to wide for the stock wheel? also does anyone know anything about the nitto terra grapplers? they are the only all terrain i have found so far in that size for a 16 inch rim that still has a e load rating. any info would be great, thanks.

The 305's will fit on a stock wheel - but the minimum listed wheel width for a 305 is an 8" wide wheel. I have read lots of posts of guys running them on the stock 7" wide wheels. Another thing is you may have some minor rubbing on the bumper/fenderwells too. My 305's (on 16x8's) rub on a twist and hard turn - even with a 2 1/2" lift on the front end. I know everyone's truck is different it seems as to what will fit without rubbing - but that is my experience with my rig. Good luck!
