Smile 4x4wannabe Newbie:

Yesterday, I just bought a 2006 Ford E-350 XLT Super Duty 12 Passenger - Dark Toreador Red Van..... whew what a beautie...., and she and I would like to say hello to all you ford lovers out there. I hope to put at least 200,000 miles or more, before having to retire her, should take at least 5 years.....lol. Eventually I would like to make her a 4 x 4, but for now paying for her and a few personal upgrades will be top priority. Essentials: ATS fender flares with matching running boards, Kargo Master pro 2 roof rack, and a new set of rims and tires. I may have to keep the rims awhile, which brings me to my first question. What are the biggest tires I can put on this van without rubbing the front fender or using a lift Kit? Sometime in the future, I may put a lift kit on her, but why I dont know, she seems to sit pretty high as it is. Any body have any special knowledge or thoughts about this subject? On AutoAccessory4U.com they have a nifty photograph of a black ford van which I think looks really neat. Love that custom roof rack, grill guard, rims and tires. Thanks everybody for your help,
and I'm D _ MM glad to meet ya!
