What is the widest tire that can fit on a 98 Mark?

Posted by: lscmkviii

I have a 285/35R18 on a 9" rim with no rubbing.

Woops... Should have said stock rim and on the rear.

255/50/16 I believe.

Posted by: MediumD

Yep, 255/50/16. You might be able to get something wider on there with a bigger aspect ratio... but then you're pretty much looking at truck tires.

245/55 is as big as I would go on that rim.
