White 2002 Ford F150 Supercab |
I need to know the maximum size mud tires I can get that will fit without any modifications for my 2002 Ford F150 Super Cab 5 lug. I need them to fit on my stock ford rims , I have (P255/70 R16) size tires on there now.
Answer: Without a lift 245/75 r16, 235/85r16 and 265/75r16 will fit, but with some mud packed on the fenders your mudflaps will be at risk if you want them. I run lt 245/75 r16 hankook dynapro RT04 mt’s on mine because even with the fenders full of mud they can still turn side to side without any damage and threy’re nowhere near as oddball a size as the 255( only 1/2 ” taller but skinnier), my buddy had lt265/75 r16 bfg mt’s on his but one afternoon while playin they decided to claim his lower bumper plastic while turning a corner in a muddy trail so he went to lt235/85r16 hankooks too ( same height as the 265 but skinnier for turning) and so far only lost a mudflap. I’ve seen some with 285′s on but it’s pretty tight, no good for 4byin. But I also know a chick with a 02 supercrew with a 3″ body lift, she runs 285′s and has no problems. Also make sure to buy “LT” tires instead of “P” tires, they do cost a little more for the same size tire but you get deeper treads for more traction and life and you also get more plies in the tire so they are stronger, resist punctures better. Hope this helped!
