i have the stock chrome 16" wheels, the 3-spoke looking ones. i need new tires bad. the size on there now is 235/70/16. I wanna go with some AT tires, and something reasonably priced. Which sizes can I run? I'd like to go 30" or 31" at the most but not sure if they will fit with stock height and 16" wheels.

Thanks for any info guys
 






you can fit 31.2x10.8 on P275/70 R16 with no trimming i believe atleast on a 03 sport trac you can.
 






I ran 245/75/16's (30x9.65) on a stock 2dr for a while.

thanks guys. i ended up ordering some bridgestone dueler ATs on sale at a sears auto center, 255/70/16. they look awesome and got great reviews on tirerack.com. the ones i have on there now are pretty bad. also, my truck came stock with this tire size, but whoever previously owned it put on 235s for some reason. oh well.
