Question on tire size
I have a 76 f250 thats stock and was wondering if i can fit 35 12.5 15 on it without rub. I heard you can fit 35's but what about the width? Thanks

Well you hae hit the nail on the head. Wheel width, tire width, asn wheel backspacing all play a role in what will fit and what will not. Typically a narrow 35 x 12.50 has a much better shot at clearing than say the same 35 incher that is 14.5 inches wide.
Again the wheel is aonther variable.
Last thing to consider is the condition of the front springs. Old tired and worn out springs may have something to do with running a larger tire.
