i have a 95 f150 with p235/75/15s on it, i was wanting to upgrade to a 30 or 31 inch tire. How big can i go before they start rubbing?

Ive seen as big as 32 inchers on em. I think 11.5 is about as wide as you would want to go on stock rims. I run 265/75R15s (31x10.5) on stock 8" rims. They seem to fill the wells nice and dont look like overkill.

My 31 X 10.5's are fine. I have heard from others that 33's and up will rub the frame and the back of the fender when turning.

Any tire may rub radius arms . But some of these trucks came with 31's and 265/75/15 tires you can run 32' tires on stock rims will/may rub rad arms . But if highway driving no problem. But if you are going to bigger /wider then 10" I'd get wider rims with little more offset.
