Tire size

Hi everybody

What is the biggest size tire I can put on my truck. Its an 04 f-350 with a leveling kit. It does not matter if its a metric tire or standard tire.

Thanks for any replies

You should fit 35's with a levelling kit.

35x12.50 should fit, but it depends on wheel offset as well. What size wheels are you running?

What size? 16? 17? 18? I wouldn't go as wide as 12.5" on a stick rim.

I believe stock wheels are 8" wide. Most people recommend 10" wheels for 12.50's

I have an F250. I run 35x12.5 on stock 18" wheels. I had to trim a tiny bit off of my mud
flapt to avoid rubbing at full lock. Lots of room. I used a Icon 2.5 inch leveling kit. I believe the F350 would use the same kit.

The factory 16" wheels on my 03' Lariet were 7". I think the later model 17's and 18's are wider though. If you have the earlier 16's like mine you can get a 35x10.5x16 from Super Swamper. This is the size I was going to run before I found my setup. By the way, I'm running a leveling kit with 35's but had to space my inner fenders back a little and trim the lower valance just a bit.
