1975 Ford F100 Tires options, will these work?




So I have a 75 F100 with American racing rims that are 15” wheels. I need a new set of tires and I’m finding it hard to find used 15” wheels period, much less the 255 60 R15. I can get a new set, but the basic $100 makes it out to be about $550 installed. Just not in my balance and this truck is my (drive on weekends) vehicle, not my normal mode of transportation. So long story short, I found a set of 31 x 10.50 R15 LT Load C online locally, set of 4 BF Goodrich all terrain T/A. I understand these tires are the equivalent of 265 75 r15, is that accurate size comparison and would those fit on my truck. I have included a pic of my current wheel and tires.

thanks for help,
james

Thanks, I was a little concerned about the width, but I guess it’s not too much of a difference. I appreciate the reply.

So I had a friend ask me if I think the width, and or height would hinder my turn radius or make them rub.I know it’s tough to tell from. A pic of my wheel well, but could this possibly be a concern?

31 10.50 15? 30.5" tall
I'm running 265 70 16 on my '77 F150 2wd. 30.6" tall
I'm running a 1" spacer to get around the centerbore issue of my Dodge rims on the Ford hubs.

I don't think you have a problem with your proposed tire
