I have a 2005 XLT 4x4 Stock Explorer and it is time for some new tires. Can anyone tell me the largest tire is can get without a lift? Will 255/70/16 fit???
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

From what I have been told and seen for myself, 265 75 16 is the largest you can put on a stock Gen 3
 






265/75-16 will fit but are tight especially without body lift etc
 






Like Will said you can fit the 265's but you may need to trim the wheel well a bit.

But 255's will fit as some EX's came stock with them
 












265/75/16 fit perfect on my 02 ex with no issues what so ever and i believe all 4 corners have broken springs lol!

I think a lot of it has to do with different makes are actually slightly different size...
