I have an 05 sport trac with a 2" suspension lift (I think) there is a pretty large gap between my tires and frame how big of tires can I go without them rubbing. 265/75/16 or should I go 285/70/16??

Do you know what gears you have already?
Code on the door sticker will let you know. The reason I bring this up is that depending on what you have, the tire size could severely affect your acceleration and mpg.
I have 265/75/16 on my 2010 with 3.55 gears. It blows and I lost ~4mpg. I'm going to regear eventually, though.
