New Help Please!
 

just got into my first truck a 1987 f250, does anybody know how big of tires i can clear without any trouble? the truck is at factory ride height, thank you!!

Show a pic of the truck and let us know whether or not its 4X4.

yes it is a 4x4, here is a pic,

33" would fit nicely, and look proper.

if your suspension is stock, the 33s will fit with minimal rub. when you pin the wheel or the suspension articulates (like when going over rocks), you might get some fenderwell rub. but for the most part they should be alright

Those look like 265/70 tires currently. That's 31.5" (roughly). I doubt you'll have much rubbing issues going 1.5" larger.

alright, guess 33's sound like a solid choice, i was pondering 35's but that sounds like it may be trouble, and by the way my current tires are 235/85/r16

if you got a leveling kit, you could probably fit 35s just fine. if it were me though, i would wait to get a 4" suspension lift and go with something a little larger

ok thanks, do you who makes a decent affordable leveling kit?

whatd u pay for that truck looks like it was well kept

try www.suspensionconnection.com and 80-98 Ford F250 4 Wheel Drive - Top Gun Customz

if you dont see something you like just search for 87 f250 leveling kits. you should be able to find something.

Heres some pics of my 89 F250, stock suspention, 36" military tires:

Some people think these are too big for no lift, but I didnt have a problem with the way it looked

well i think im gonna go with a set of 35"s those 36"s look real nice on your truck man, and if they rub ill just go with a leveling kit, anyway i traded my 98 vw jetta for this 87 f250 4x4 6.9 diesel, so it didnt cost me a thing, not bad eh?

No, not bad at all. your 87 will still be on the road when that 98 kicks the bucket

Ive got 285/75/16 on my 89 f25 4x4
