When I bought one of my 78 bronco,s. It had 32-12.5 on it and it does not have a lift kit and the tires did not rub. Later on. I put the same tires on my other bronco and never had any problems.I have a 78 f150 and had 32 12.5 with no rub

On 79 and older f-150s your can run a 33x12.50 on it at stock height.THe trouble is when you turn sharp teh tire will hit the radius arm and rub.With a 2in body you can run 35x12.50 no problem other than it hitting the radus .but you have plenty of cleance is you sink to the tire up in the wheel well while 4 wheeling.I stepped my 77 up to 6inches of lift and had 38x15.50 super swampers on it.It was close in the front but it cleared ok.My on problem was it rubbed the raduis arms on sharp turns and the ps front tire would rub the hear on that side.I have the l&l headers that come out ove the frame rails.But I stepped back down to a 35.in tir once I wore out the 38s.Didnt need that big a tire.
