Tire ques.

Hello,
I have a stock '02 f-250. I want to uprade my tires and wheels without any modifications to my truck. I am running 265x75x16E. Could I run a 17" wheel with a 305x65x17 lower profile without rubbing issues? Also any suggestions on what I can run without any issues would be helpful. Thanks. -Rob

Assuming a 17x8" wheel those tires shouldn't be a problem. They may rub the inner fenders a little, but not much.....depends on the wheel offset.

You wont have any trouble with that tire size, keep in mind though, that 17" wheels and tires are more expensive and its harder to find some tires in a 17"
