Widest tire...again!

[rbiddis1]

hey all,

I'm sure this has been discussed on here but I haven't been able to find any specific answer.

My question is, if I lower a 71 F100 about 3-4 inches what is the absolute widest wheel/tire combo i can have without rubbing or causing any trouble. I'm wanting the top of the tire to be behind the wheel well when it is dropped. I plan on levelling the frame front to back so I want to use the same width tire front and back. Plus I want to be able to rotate them whenever necessary. But I want to also be able to fill the wheel well on the back. I hope all that makes sense cus I think I confused myself.

Anywho, thanks for the help on this. BTW, my intention is to go 17x8 or 9 on the wheels front and back.

in your case with wanting the same front to back for rotation puposes, You front end will dictate what size you can use. This is due to the added room needed when turning. Hope this helps. I know its no a definite answer but gives you a start.
