I have a 1999 Explorer Sport. It is stock with no lift kit or anything. I was wondering what is the biggest tire size I can fit? It has 255/70 R16 now. Is it possible to go up to a 265 without tire rub?
You should be fine with a 265/70/16. You may rub slightly when turning but it'll only be probably at full lock. You can always raise the truck a lil by cranking the torsion bars and adding shackles or a set of leafs off a 4 door since they are not monoleaf like the ones in a 2 door model.
I put 265/75/16's on my 98 Sport. It's tight, but they only required a tiny bit of trimming on the front to avoid rubbing for street use. That was before shackles and TT. After shackles and TT they barely rub when off road.
