Largest tires that will fit on a 90 F250

I would prefer to use the stock rims and not lift the truck.

So, anyone know what are the largest tires that will fit on it with the stock rims?

Also, if I need to use larger rims, what size and how big a tire will fit under the fenders?

The vehicle is a 1991 F250 standard cab, 7.3, E4OD, 3.55:1 and right now it has, I assume stock, LT235/85 R16 tires.

Now I see I posted in the wrong forum.

How do I move it to the right one?

I had 315/75/16's on my '96 with no problem other than a little tire rub on the front springs. A wheel spacer would fix that though. Had to put smaller tires on for fuel economy.

That would get me at least to 35".

Well, wheel spacers are not one of my favorite methods.

I have been looking for suspension lift kits, and there are no kits still in production for the Diesel F250 2 wheel drive, if they ever were.

If you do not want to use wheel spacers you can get some rims with a different backspacing.
