'03 xlt
Have an 03 XLT. Have a factory lift on it, but want to put new tires on it. Will these fit? What is the biggest size I could go without problems with the tires and the wheel wells?

Also-what are the these rims called? They seem pretty common on off road trucks...

Wait a minute, aren't your stock wheels 16"??

And what 'factory lift'?
 






Everythings factory standard on the car. Idk what size the wheels-they're typical ford wheels that came from the factory.
Rim + tire the ones you sent me are 31" in diameter. U think that's the biggest I could go?
 






I recommend you do some more research. I saw from Edmunds.com that the 2003 XLT Base wheel diameter is 16" and 17" is optional.

My 2003 Aviator has 17" wheels. It also has 13" diameter disc brakes up front. There's no way a 15" wheel will fit over the brakes.

My stock tires are about 30" in dia and judging by the wheel opening, 31" is as big as I could go without rubbing.

Use the 'search' and look for the Road Bully lift and you will find a slew of 3rd gen X's running bigger tires.
