17s

I just put 315/70/17 BFG A/Ts on my stock F250 (gasser). They fit fine, no rubbing, no trimming. Plow prep package may be required for this.....

Special Ed, you should be able to fit that size tire stock. Its pretty much the same size tire that comes stock on the 20" rims.

I went with Nitto Terra Grapplers 35 X 12.5 and don't really get much road noise out of them. I don't do much offroading but they are nice if I must get offroad.

You are in Chicago so you'll get the snow too.
I put BFG AT's on mine.
Nice ride, aggressive tread and not any more noise than stock shoes.
They performed well in the snow this past winter, huge difference from stock.

Just got back from a ski trip in NM. I had replaced the stockers with 315/70-17 BFGs prior to the trip. Very smooth ride and absolutely no rub. The truck is a 2005 fx4 and the wheels are stock. This set of tires is my fifth set on different vehicles--I highly recomend them for Super Duty

If I read the post right, I can put 305/70R/17 on the stock rims of a 06 F250 FX4 PSD and not have any rubbing. Is that correct? I was told that the largest I could go was a 285.

I would really like the 305s.
