what size?

what is the biggest tire I can fit on my f-350 psd? I have a 6.5" lift with 33" bfg and the truck totally dwarfs my tires. Any advice?

thanks

Before or after you cut your fenders?

Measure from the inner fender well to the center of the hub.

Call that C(learance)

(C -2) x 2 = tire diameter, assuming the tire you buy will be less diameter then actually stated, as most are.

One of the best ways is to buy one tire of what you think will fit, install it on the pass. side, then lift each side on the front as high off the ground as possible using the suspension and then the frame at full right hand lock while checking for clearance issues.
