Juan, I assume you want to know how large of a tire you can fit without lifting the truck? From that picture it look to me like you have a '92-'94 truck, since it's a crew cab I'd guess it's an F350 - those are usually able to clear 36" and 37" without rubbing anywhere. If your wheels are 16.5" in diameter you can run HMMWV tires if you can find a good deal on them. Actually I'm pretty sure you can run the complete HMMWV wheels, IIRC they clear the Ford hubs just fine.

does anyone have the original Ford Hubcaps that came on the F250 in the 80's trucks if not what have you replaced them with that makes the truck look stylish?

Juan, factory size tires is 235/85-16, which is about 32" in diameter. On the front of my dually I have my own version of the super-single setup big trucks run, I use 265/75-16 tires there, those are the same diameter as my 235/85-16 rears but are quite wider. There are 285/75-16 tires (33" diameter) that seem to be pretty popular amongst the 4x4 crowd, but with your truck you can run 315/75-16s (35" diameter) and they will clear just fine. What do you have now, those look like 265s? Just remember the larger the tire the more expensive it is...

I put 285/75 on my rig and they rubbed while turning. I had to cut the bumper in front to avoid that. So I would say 36 or 37 inch tires are not prob. Thats just my experience. But difference in sag of springs could account for some of that....

Well that's very odd, I've measured mine up and there's a very good chance it will clear 35s, and it's a 2wd with running boards of all the things... Must be something with the fender shape, but I really haven't noticed your body style having smaller wheel wells. That said, it seems to me your tires stick out a bit, or maybe it's just the pic that makes them look like that - are yu running factory wheels on that truck?

Juan, turn your wheels to one side and measure around them - if you have 1" space everywhere you can run the 315s, if you have 2" or more clearance you can run 36s and 37s.
