Question Wheel and tire question - 08 250 to 06 150?

A friend of mine has an 08 250 with the 8-spoke polished 20" wheels. He has Nitto MudGrapplers on it now which are about 1/2 gone and because he needs meaty tires for his job he's going to get new ones right away. I have an 06 150 with the 6-spoke 20" wheels, will his old tires fit my truck?

Thanks,
Ryan

what size tire? 33's will fine with a leveling kit, but 35's will cause alot of rubbing because of the size and sidebiters

I heard 35's will fit with a 2" levelling kit. 33's would be OK too though I guess.

the rims won't fit, f250 are 8 lug, f150's are 6 lug. the 35's will fit but you will get alot of rubbing with mud grapplers. it can be done, if you can live with rubbing.

you can fit 35's with 2" leveler, however, it all depends if you consider rubbing, fitting...i consider tires fitting that i can use on and off road. IMO and just that, 35's on a leveled truck does not qualify as fitting, you can't offroad it, it will rub at full lock, but like i said before if you drive it on the highway and that's it go for it....wait til your turning into a parking spot and full lock the grapplers will make a vicious sound on the lca from rubbing.......
