Tire Size?

Anyone know what the largest size tire that will fit on my 74 F-250 4x4 Highboy? Saw a nice set on the side of the road for sale but don't know if they will fit. Thanks.

Max. size depends on alot of things. Every truck can be a little different. Wheel width and offset, any sag in the springs, clearance with running boards, etc. I run 33/12.50-16.5's on 10" rims under my stock '74 with no trouble at all. I probably have room for 35's on the same wheels, but it isn't worth it to me to risk tearing up a fender (they're fiberglass) for 2 extra inches.
