I am looking for some tire info/help. Forgive me if I’m asking too many questions from one post or if the all don’t belong in this forum but any info, help, opinions or even direction to similar posts is greatly appreciated.

I have a 2007 Ford Expedition Limited currently running on P255-70-18 Pirelli Scorpion STRs. I am looking for a larger aggressive looking tire.

What should my stock height be on the front and rear wheel well/fender? I seem to get different measurements depending where I am parked at the time.

What is the largest tire (height and width) that I can run at stock height? (I did see on a previous post 315-70-17 with a ¾” front valence trim).

What is the largest tire (height and width) that I can run with installing a 3.5” front & 2.5” rear leveling kit?

Can I run a 15” rim?

I also have 1 ¼” thick wheel/lug adapters (to convert the 6x135 to 6x5.5) that I could try to utilize for a little more room. Will this help with tire size/width I can run?

And finally should 35 x 15.5 x 15 tires fit on the rims off of a 35 x 14.50 x 15 set up? Or would I/one need more information before determining that?

Thanks for any and all help!

I know a 15" rim will NOT work smallest rim would be 17" I don't think you can even do 16" rim on that Gen Expy.
the rim size for the 35" will not matter 9' to 12 " wide would work, but not fit the Expy because of the 15" rim.
The 6x135 bolt pattern is better than the 6 5.5 I think for getting aftermarket rims .
Both better than my 5 x 135 it sucks!!

With that lift I think you can get a 33"-34" tire, not 100% sure
Some with that Gen Expy will ring in !

I dont want to hijack the thread, but not sure I should start a new thread when my exact question is in this thread.

I have a 2010 expy 4x4 with P255/70R18 with the pirelli scorpions. What is the biggest tire I can replace them with. No rim changes, no lifts. I tow a small boat and don't want mess with lifts.
