Hey everyone, its been awhile. Hope everyone is surviving the gas prices. Anyways, just a quick question for ya.....anyone have 16x10" wheels with 35's on stock suspension, no lift? If so, any major rubbing issues? If not, do you guys think its possible.........i was told by someone who has had 4 superduty's that they fit fine. I have a 2000 F350 5.4 gas snow plow package. Let me know at least what you all think, i'm in need of tires in the next week. Thanks for any comments in advance, take care...scott

 

I have a 99 F-250 with 16" wheels and 33's. I put the factory ford mud flaps on and backing out of the driveway right afterwards making a slight turn the tires ripped the mud flaps off so with 35's I think you might rub.

 

i have a 2000 f-350 with 35" x12.5" x 16.5" with a leveling kit and i get a slight rub at extreme turn & bump. so i think you'll rub with stock set up.(no mud flaps)

 

Yes, I do (sort of - see sig. I did change out my front springs to make it sit a bit more level, but there's no lift on the truck. It's VERY close stock, and sits the same height as other SD's, mine just looks "meaner" so people think it's bigger).

Anyways..............

There WILL be rubbing issues. I ended up moving the bumper out on the truck as it became too much of a PITA to turn. I couldn't make any turns without it rubbing (like turning out of a driveway).

I've since moved the bumper out about 2 inches (you can't tell at a glance). You DO notice the 2 inch gap from the where the head lights meet the bumper if you walk up to the truck, as you can see the bumper is moved out.

Since I've moved the bumper turning pretty close to fine now. However, any tight turns will still rub the fender (not the bumper). It's fine for about 99% of driving around. I still can't do a sharp turn into a parking spot - but then again, who of us can?

Here is a picture BEFORE I moved the bumper out to give you an idea of what you will be in for (it no longer rubs there since I moved it out):



You can also cut the bumper......

Here are two pictures of the inner fender "issue" with the tight turns. I'm sure a lift would fix that:





I haven't hauled any heavy heavy loads with it, but no issues so far. I did tow my camper (5,500 lbs) and I put a older steel tractor in the bed (70's cub cadet) and it still acts like a truck just fine (no issues with the tires).

My tires are big and they do stick out some:




More pictures can be found: HERE


I don't have any pictures with the bumper moved out, or the new grille on, but I'll try and take some pictures this weekend.

I had the dealership retune the truck the best they could for the bigger tires, and it's very close to real mph. I've noticed ZERO difference in mpg from the stock tires to the ones I have now. You may notice a change, but I did not (the truck almost always seems to get 13mpg empty or towing).


I hope this helps, and I'll try and get more pictures later.

 

thanks for the input. I guess I still have an old picture with mudflaps on or something......i don't have mudflaps so i don't have to worry about that. Also, i havn't did anything to my springs like one of you guys did so it's not exactly the same as stock, thanks. i really just wanted to know if anybody has a stock truck with 16x10" wheels with 315's on it instead of stock 16x7" wheels. I've already upgraded to 8"wheels with no problem, just wanted to know about the 10" that's all. I guess everyone here has gone way up and bigger so i guess i'll have to buy them and hope i don't waste my money. thanks again to those who replied....talk to you soon, scott
