tires

As posted in a previous thread I currently do not have my truck with me. I am wanting to replace the tires and I do not know what the stock tire sizes are. Any help would be appreciated. I have a 2003 F250 Lariat FX4 with the 7.3. I was originally going to get bigger tires and wheels but I decided to stay at stock for now. With that said, I purchased a 2 1/2 inch leveling kit. Be honest, does it look stupid with a leveling kit and stock tires and rims? By stupid I mean do the tires look that much smaller with the leveling kit installed. Thanks.
Jon

Put 285/75R16s on it. They will with without the leveling kit, and will look better with it.

I agree on the 285/75/16. I have those on my 02 f250 and they fill up the wheel wells and look good.

265/75R16 is the most common stock size tire for the F250.

As posted above 265/75/16 is stock. With that said the 285/75/16 is a nice fit.

285/75/16 with 2" leveling kit.
