Will this tire fit?

Can I fit a 38 by 11" tire on a stock steel rim? Also has any one used this size tire on a f250 and if so so the have pictures. I'm guessing it will rub some on the springs though since I only have a 4" lift. What is max tire width for steel stock rims, i dont really mind the bulged look as long as it works.

Yea, if thats the section width and not the tread width,you'll be OK.The side walls will bow and the tread will crown some.My brother has some Buckshots-36" x 10.5"-on stock wheels,with no probs.As far as max,I'd say thats it.

Re: Will this tire fit?

Michelin's military 11.00R16 is spec'ed for a 6-7" wide wheel.

I suspect they will hit the springs. I run the 9.00R16s on 16x6" steels and they just graze the leafs at full lock.

I have 37x12.50R16.5 tires on 6-3/4" steels. My buddy has 315/75R16s on 7" steels. I would run either combo without hesitation.

Not sure on a 38" tire... but I've had the 35" Michelins and Q78 swampers on my F350 without any lift.
