tire size question

what's the largest tire/rim combo that I can fit on a 90 f250 4x4 bone stock?

I have a chance at a set of 265/75r16's and I am wondering if those would be ok.

I'd like to know if I could go bigger though

Those tires should fit fine. 33x12.5 is probably the biggest you can go when completely stock

I run LT265/75R16 on my 2wd 96 F-250 with room to go bigger still. I think you should be able to go with a LT285/75R16 with out any problems at all and that size would be the same as a 33x10.50R16. Tires that are 12.50" wide might rub when you are at full wheel lock, or at least they do on a guys I work with that has a 1997 F-350 4x4 which is still our body style.
