Question Max Tire size for 2005 F250

[brianjbeach85]

Guys i currently have LT265/70/R17's on my F250 it has no lift.. but i have heard i can put 315/70/R17's on these rims.. without rubbing any insight to this? I am looking at Goodyear Duratrac's to give it an aggressive look without having to buy a lift.

I have heard up-sizing like this will add about an inch ride height and like i said not rub. Help! i don't know much about tires and the baby tires look rediculous on this truck

I Just put the duratrac's on my 08 F250 and I love them. The ride is good, quiet and solid. I haven't been in rain yet though. I went from a 32" to a 33" on 18's. O and I had to fill them up to 65 psi all around.

I don't know if this will help you or not but... I ran 37x12.50x17 on my 2005 with just a leveling kit on it. That was the absolute biggest I could go without more lift. I ran the 315/70/17 for a while with plenty of clearance.

I can't see that ? I run 35's with a 6 inch lift

I'm actually running BF Goodrich 38's with just a 4 inch lift. Only mod I did was upgraded my steering stabilizer to aid in turning the extra weight.

Check out my pics.

I had 325-65X18's (35"x13.5"x18") on my stock 18" wheels on my 05, with a Fabtech 2" leveling kit. They didn't rub anywhere! The 05-11 trucks fit a bigger tire without any lift.

You also have Cut Out flares, BIG difference. Also, 99-04's don't have the same suspension as the newer trucks, so comparing your 99 to an 05 isn't apples to apples.

Didn't think of that, my bad. Good luck.

Sooo My stock 17's on a 2005 with no leveling kit will fit a 315 70 r17??

Also side question, but difference between D rating and a E rating is 8ply vs 10ply... if im not maxing the load in bed or plowing do i NEED 10 ply? will 8 ply's last long or wear down fast due to normal weight of vehicle?

8 ply's will work just fine. The weight is the difference. We all ran 8 ply's many years ago, as there were no 10 ply tires available at the time.
