What Size Tire ?

[Madman Mark]

What size tire will safely fit on my 1990 F-250 4WD without overdoing it ?
Is a 33x12.5 too big ? It looks like it might fit. Thanks.

I believe it will..the most you might have to do is trim up the bumper...what do you mean by overdoing?

"Overdoing it " , I mean without rubbing etc...
This truck is mainly just used for hauling firewood ( I cord of stacked split hardwood at a time, with side boards on it) and hunting/fishing.
It gets used 3 or 4 times a month, that's it.
With all that weight the front doesn't sag much at all and I've got 2 extra leaf springs per side in the rear.
I "think" it will handle 33's when loaded with wood.

What you might want to do is get some leveling coils..and you might need to trim the bumper..depending on how much flexing and offroading w/ tight turns you do.

If what you say about your springs under load, 33 x 12.5 will fit. Just check out the clearance over the rear tires with a heavy load. If they are close, you may rub on a bump that jolts your tire. The only rubbing that you will get is with the front wheels on a hard over turn. :blush:

Good luck,

u can for sure fit 33's on your f250, but thats the absolute largest without a lift or trimming
