What is the biggest tire size I can go?

1995 F-250 stock frame no lift.
I want to go 295/75R16.
Will is work?
Or can I go bigger?
Or do I need to go smaller?

285/75-16 on a stock rim is as big as I've seen that didn't rub. The 295's migh require you to trim the inner fender back a little, but should clear without having to trim/move the bumper.

285's look big on the old body style trucks since they have a smaller wheel opening than the Superdutys.

yep 285/75/r16 is big as she goes. on my 95 i did have some rub on the back of the bumper but i think the bumper backet is tweaked ever slightly. so i used that as a good excuse to my wife for the leveling kit!

My truck is a 96 4x4 also have 285/75r16 tires. I did not have any clearance problems even with worn out/ de arched springs. I had about 1/2 inch clearance between front snubber and bump stop on spring. I have now replaced with a lift kit and have about 5" between bump stop and snubber on front
