Tire Size Question

Hey All,

I have a customer that has a 03 SD 5.4 4x4, reg. cab with the plow prep package. He has the stock General Junks on it size 235/85/16.

My question is, I have a set of Good Year TD's size 265/75/16's sitting here in the shop that I got the shaft on last year and I need to get rid of them. So will they fit with no rubbing issues.

Please say yes....When I had my 03 I remeber putting larger tires on with no issues but cant remember the size that I put on.

Thanks,

Sarge

The 265/75/16 is the factory option tire so they'll be fine. I'm running 285's with no problems and I think you can go a little bigger without issues.

Without question.

Like jdboy said, 285's will fit easy, so 265's will fit, no worries.

Yes. In fact, it was an option to get 265/75-16 load range E tires on the stock 16x7" wheels from Ford. So they will definitely fit (that's what I have with no rubbing issues at all). I hear you can go up to 285/75-16 with no issues on the 99-04 250s.
