Tire Size?
Guys, I have been reading on here for hours, but can't seem to find the exact answers I'm looking for. So I thought I would give it a try. My question is can I fit BF Goodrich 315/70/17 on my 2005 F250 w/ stock rims and not scrub at full lock. Do I absolutely need the 2" leveling kit to not scrub?
Thanks....

That's gonna' be close -- it's about 3/4 of an inch larger in diameter than mine and they almost rub at lock -- if the suspension was compressed I think they would rub. When I was shopping for mine, the guys at discounttiredirect.com were really helpful in determining what would fit. Might try giving them a call -- they also beat the best price I could find delivered to my door, btw.
You know the width is too wide for your stock rims, right? particularly if you carry much weight...

You can go out to the BFG web site and look at their spec's, I know for mine, the 305s are supposed to be on 8.5 inch minimum rims and mine are 8" wide. I thought folks said up to a 35" tire will fit the stock suspension, and your 315s would be right at 35" (a bit less, mathematically). See what the BFG site says your diameter would be...

Yes you can mount them.....
I have an '05 250 crew and i had the same tires put on mine at 1500 miles (now have 28000). I have been on the beach in the Outer Banks and in/ out of snow and have yet to have the tires rub. they were mounted on stock rims with no adjustment to the suspension at all. also, no backspace issues either. I kept the stock tires, just in case I had an issue one day, but they are just collecting dust in the garage now. Hope this helps.
