Largest tire I can fit stock
I picked up a 2011 250 super cab last weekend with just shy of 8000 miles and love the truck but the tires are just to small for the wheel wells and would like some better ground clearance. So whats the biggest tire I can fit without lifting it which I cant afford to do right now. Oh it's on 18" rims. I also prefer a tall skinny tire. Thanks!!

Were you able to have the speedometer calibrated for these larger tires, and were there any problems having it done?

I took it in but every option the tech tried threw a CEL.
I stood in the service bay for 15 minutes while the tech re-tired the available tire options and only the default for 18in rims would work.
Cost me $50 for a half hour of the tech's time.
They told me to come back when I find the magic setting, so far no one has.

Here are the Open COuntry AT tires.
I have a 4" block on the rear and a leveling kit on the front.
My speedo was off when I bought the truck and now the tires put it reading about 2mph slower than what I am actually running on GPS.

I would love to see some pics... I was shopping Goodyear Wranglers for my 2012 F250 with stock 20" rims and the Goodyear dealer said I couldn't go that big with the stock 20"x8" rims.
