Tire chain fit?
Given that 265-75-16 tires essentially rub the inner fender liner in turns, how is one supposed to use/fit tire chains on the front of a '99 F250 Super Duty 4x4?
(I'm not sure if this was the stock tire, as the truck came to me with different tires and rims and the spare is a 235-85-16.)
What is the stock tire size for a '99 Lariet crew/4x4 and has anyone found a way to fit tire chains?
Thanks,
Steve

stock tire is a 265/75-16 (most models), i think some of the base models may have came with a 235/75-16. i run 285/75-16 and have no trouble runing chains at all (i have them on every year while hunting). the after market wheels you have must be wider and/or have a different offset if its that close
ps. my truck has the factory wheels

Well, these are factory 2002 rims on a '99 truck, running this 265/75/16 tire. When the tire is half way turned in the fenderwell, it's within 1/2" of the factory fender liner. Going straight and turned full is no problem. I take chains hunting, and when you need 'em, you can't go without them.
Other ideas?

If it is rubbing on the liner that is towards the cab. Just take a long zip tie drill 2 holes in the liner and pull it back and zip tie it. I had to do this when i got m 42" tires put on my 04' CC 6.0. Work out real good and you cant even tell as long as you use lack zip tie.
