tires

whats the widest width you can fit on a stock wheel. i think my wheels are 8 inches in depth but not sure.
im thinking about running 295/60-15 on my 86 f-150
will they fit?

My 85 F-150 4x4 had stock 7.5 inch wheels. I think the sticker on the door will tell you exactly what stock is. I don't know for sure if that tire will fit on stock. But I do know that 35X12.5X15 required 8.5 minimum width. Yours are something like 29X11.6X15. So I would say that it should work. An easy way to find out if it will work is to call a tire place and ask. Then you'd know for sure.

1010tires.com has a tire size calculator that'll tell you the overall diameter of the tire (to make sure it won't rub your wheel wells) and the accepted rim widths. Unfortunately, 295/60 15s come up as an "unrecognized" tire, but 285/70 15s are listed as being able to fit on 15x7.5"-9.5" rims.
